I don't think I posted this here. Seemed especially relevant with other recent contributions. And yes I did get in my first trip despite snow squalls. 180 miles from Toledo Ohio down to Athens for the gravel grouser classic. It took about 36 hours. And no this is not a card touring machine. I do fully self supported touring.
