185 - Probably the most challenging ride I've ever completed. Riding every mountain bike trail in the South Benson trail network. Almost 9 hours in the saddle completing 76 km and 3200 meters.
Have been doing this with my wife for the last three years, every time it gets harder as more trails are being opened.
Didn't do it with my wife this year however as she has been training for an ultra marathon coming up in September. So it was mostly solo with a few friends joining in for laps here and there and many friends watching my progress on strava beacon and heckling me over text messages. It was a pretty incredible day and it's going to take a while to catch up on calories
186 - "Recovery" day ride banging out 10.5 km and 330 meters of Doumont. ...beat my previous kom on Monkeys in the Mist by 15 seconds, maybe sore legs are the key..
