Tim, according to the ride database, I attempted to do this ride two days after you did back in November. I went CCW from Galveston. Even though it seemed like everything was against me (Torrential rain, miles of road construction, the pass at El Paso being close, 30-45 MPH headwinds blowing parts off my bike, temps at and below freezing), I managed to earn Gold on my first lap by two minutes. I decided against doing the rewind because I didn't feel I could make it back around in less than 70 hours. The Rewind is still on my "Bucket List" but I'm doing the JBR this year.

The RAT Rewind was a hard riding adventurer. It is a 6,200 mile ride in less the 6 days for Gold. I had a great ride with minimal mechanical or RidePace issues.

I'm not surprised none of the BAT RAT 22 riders signed up for the Rewind.
