You look at the schematic of each day's course in your handy Racer Handbook and you mentally gear yourself up for the punishment ahead. Some days are obviously brutal--with jagged peak after jagged peak and humbling mileage and elevation gains. Today, however, looked like a piece of cake by comparison: 30 miles and 2,500 feet of climbing. A long ride, but not nearly as hard as the first two days or the following four. But then...sometimes appearances can be deceiving.
