Whoa! The second loop for the 'B' riders was huge! So disappointed that I didn't get to ride it.

Do you have an actual distance on the second loop? I was told the first was around 30km but judging by my fuel consumption, I think it was shorter than that. Going by eye, it looks like the second loop was at least twice as long as the first.

My GPS says the first loop was 21.2 km and the second was 45.8km. It felt longer than that. :)
