This morning started out according to plan: I had done most of my packing the night before, the things I put up to dry inside had indeed dried, I got up in what seemed to be enough time. However, I still left later than I expected, at 8:10 or so. Not the best start to a ride that would likely take me over 7 hours.
Once on the road, things went along closer to my plan. I stayed a very short time at each rest stop and I went as fast as I could manage. Turns out I can manage 15 mph for about 7 hours. By the time I stopped today, I had gone 103.6 miles… my first ride of 100 mile or greater. I had taken some preventative Advil at ~70 miles, and feel like I should probably take some again now.
Wow… I’ll possibly add to this tomorrow… I’m having serious head bobs while trying to do this now… Yes… Tomorrow…
