I did Ruff Riders one year and the second day was a 90 mile reach. I DID not tack ONE time. It was puffy so NO cleating. I wore threw the gloves to raw hands and my arm hurt so much one could not move it. You have better get in GOOD shape before a long race. AND it was in the old butt bucket days. I talked like a girl on the way home in the van LOL LOL ROTGL
