Diabolical Double Garrett County Gran Fondo Reflection

Recently, I tried my commitment to what was described as, "The single hardest day of even the most fit cyclist's life." What would inspire me to want to cycle one of North America's most difficult century rides?

I don't exactly know why, but I wanted to taste every bit of such a harsh reality. Really, I wanted to learn about parts of myself and my limits, that were yet to be examined.
