Re: [RBW] Riv-related double century - DV

Nice job.  As one of the comments on your blog noted, it's just a hop and skip 
from a double century to a 400K ... and then a 600K.  Before you you it, you'll 
be riding across France in 2011!

 Hi, folks.
 Just did my first double in Death Valley yesterday on the Romulus.  I
 saw some steel bikes - a handful of fixies, a classic 80s Peugeot,
 and, well... that's it.  It was mostly fender-less MCRBs, even though
 the forecast called for a 50% chance of rain. It rained on my for
 about an hour from mile 160-175.  The Romulus was more up to the task
 than I:

 At a few points, I was worried about finishing under the 17 hr. limit,
 but I pushed pretty hard the last 75 miles, after loligagging the
 first 50 and suffering through much of the climbing.
 
 Here's a little write-up:

 I think some folks are making it to Solvang?  If so, write it up.
