The “official” inaugural Atomic Smasher 200 was a great event! The weather could not have been better, amazingly with all the heavy rain forecast, we had no rain all day! We were in heavy cloud cover until lunch, with broken clouds the remainder of the day. Temps averaged much lower than last year and the long climb was not like the “oven heat” we had last year. Had a terrible headwind descending from La Cueva, and all across 550 until the descent into Bernalillo. Many flat tires, one broken spoke, but no serious issues resulted in a great long ride through some of our nearest scenic roads.
7 folks signed up, all 7 showed up and all 7 finished this crazy ride! Nice job everyone!!
