Pictures from my epic weekend ride. We took a 17.5-ish mile course to Long Trail Brewery, but of course we got lost. Before we even started on the right path we took an 8 mile detour straight uphill. Halfway through the ride was that awful 15% grade hill that took my knee out, the bottom right picture is a shot of the beautiful ditch I nearly toppled into. Biking up it was better than going down (where I thought I was going to die, stopped, and walked/slid the way down). The whole thing ended up being hillier than any ride I’ve completed, and much longer than the max 33 mile ride I managed in July. Woop woop.
