Yes, Rosey did ride the ULCER today too. I was going to let her blog about her experience on her blog, but she said that she preferred that I just write about it here...
Although Rosey rode seperate from me, she was keeping a blazing fast speed of 18.5 miles per hour. Prior to moving to Utah she was riding in the 14-15 MPH range. She also only stopped once at the 40 mile rest stop (the same one that I accidentally pulled into).
Unfortunately, she got a screw in her tire at mile 80 and did some damage to her wheel. Apparently the screw caused some sort of nick on the inner aluminum that was causing her tube to explode violently when she re-inflated it. She went through one tube herself and then had one of the roving support vehicles go through another tube before they decided that the problem was irreparable. She got a ride back to American Fork High School from one of the support vehicles. I think that Rosey was a little frustrated not to be able to finish the ride but she seemed to have had a good time anyway.
