Longest Day.
Started at the High Point Monument about quarter after 6. Everyone else left at 4 and my plan was to put in a hard top 100 and then hopefully sit in a group for a bit at the bottom.
Hit the first Rest Stop at 80 miles in exactly 4 hours despite a pretty stiff headwind. Just after 100 miles I caught the 1st 2 guys. I planned on sitting in for a bit and then going off on my own but the wind was brutal on the bottom. We had to work in a group to make it through, and technically I was over 2 hours ahead so I just had to sit with them for FTD.
About 50 miles to go one of the guys decided to go off the front. His friend was dying so I decided to pull him to the finish and not chase. In the end he only got to the lighthouse a few minutes before us anyway.
All in all it was just a good training day and I made a couple new friends. Averaged just over 19mph moving despite the wind but we spent quite a bit of time off the bike at rest points so overall it was a 13+ hour day.
Englewood 400k is up next. Keeping the momentum up for PBP.
