The weather is fantastic right now, so I went for a very long ride today; I went out to Rogersville and then I took a detour down to Ozark and my parent’s house (to refill on water). The total ride was 51.5 miles/82.5 kilometers. Probably the longest 1-day ride I’ve done yet, but I still have a long ways to go. Hoping to hit 100km in a couple of weeks, and then go from there.

The weather and temps were perfect, but the wind was insane at certain times. I had a 12-mile stretch where I was going directly into the wind the whole time. It was exhausting. You can see a flag flying in one of the pictures below and you can kind of get an idea of how windy it really was.

The ass is sore, the arms sunburned. It was a good day. Here are the pics:
