Gravel ride (LandRun) 14:00:00 [5] **** 107.0 mi (7:51 / mi)
shoes: The Monster
This was far and away the best bike race I've ever done. Red mud, roadie tears and broken deraiileurs were the theme of the day. THREE surprise beer stations, and the last one, near mile 90(?) had rum as well.
I drank *a bit* and took off for the finish with no headlamp and no phone. Adventure cycling at its very finest. I got mildly to severely lost, rode toward the lights of town and eventually found my way to the finish line. Too many campfire stories to count. What a day.
I dont know my actual finish time because my number plate blew off and it wasnt recorded, BUT I have the finisher's patch and photographic evidence. Spent most of the day with a smile on my face, but there were definitely several gut checks. This race is as real as it gets and I already cant wait to do it again.
left thumb and pointer finger are numb today.
