    Thanks @CLiVE I will check on that for next event.

    I actually got admitted here at Foothills lol. I guess there was a contusion on my right kidney after the crash. I started peeing small amount of blood couple days ago. Getting better. Good thing nothing happened during the last 80 km of that race. Lesson to everyone here for sure that it may sound great finishing the race, reconsider; there may be an injury we don’t see. I think when I felt unable to breath and just something I feel on my right flank after the crash, that’s already a sign I should’ve stopped. It’s ultimately always our discretion. Just be careful out there!
    Take care buddy, and heal up quick. Take some time off the bike, and you'll come back stronger.

    Thanks my friend. Home now and recovering. Just no cycling outdoor for now just in case. Will miss the Range (doing the Rustler I should say) but rather be safe than sorry.

    Thanks man! Pretty much recovered but still just doing indoor training.

    After checking with my doctor, the Range/Rustler is actually just exactly 4 weeks after the accident which is what they recommended me when I can bike outdoors. I can possibly attend, but we'll still base it on the follow-up ultrasound next week for a final decision. I'd like to bike it and I won't try to beat a time or anything, I just want to enjoy the ride. Hoping for good results.

    Did this yesterday. Started at 5 pm so the wrong choice. Kind of a convoluted route that you’d never do yourself, particularly from COP to Willow Park to connect them all, so highly recommend loading it into your garmin or having Strava going

    Yeah I'm planning on doing it. I haven't really analyzed the route, but just at a quick glance it seems like it could have been better routed. I just want the water bottle haha

    I end up throwing out so many water bottles in races, long rides, etc. that I now just buy the dollar store ones by the dozen. Cheaper than a bottle of gatorade even.

    I want it too, and I'll probably never use it once I get it

    Thank you! So far so good!

    I am actually in dire need of water bottles lol. I will do this too when I'm able to bike outdoors again (in 3 weeks). See you guys out there!

    It works out, but there is definitely some odditiies that they didnt smooth out when they mapped it

    And personally i would have taken the new pathway along the west side of the Bow at beaverdam flats vs the worlds shittiest path along the canal

    I doubt they're sticklers if you just go show you did the loop, but i knew we'd be doing it when they were closed and wanted the QR code so did it with my watch leading the way. My buddy definitely missed a few turns that were random.

    Are these water bottles 750ml? I have a bit of mileage to make up for my annual goal so I might do this a few times.

    Haha yeah I got a bunch of water bottles that I'm not using now but that's not the point

    There's also the Trek Century Challenge for a free bottle:

    I just got back from doing this and yeah, I definitely felt like parts of this ride could have been done better, even if they were trying to achieve the same amount of distance for the circuit. I went with two other riders and both of them got flats crossing the railroad along that shitty canal. I don't even know how that happened or how I avoided it. That said, it was still a decent ride and it's always fun when people organize these sort of events to get people out riding.

    Now time for a fucking nap.
