You'll laugh. You'll cry. 2010 Rapha Gentleman’s Race Report (In Full), a report on riding a brutal 126 mile race in 101° weather on a tandem. Also about relationships and mind over reality.

A MeFi thread with more stuff on the ride.

Also worth reading some notes on the Litchfield CT version of the Rapha Gentleman's Race:

The trick to enjoying a great Gentlemen's Race does not lie within the prize list. You will not be able to find it in the team car or over the official race radio, no matter how hard you are listening. The trick to having a good Gentlemen's Race lies with the company you keep.
