Day 1 (Miles 1-50): Today was a great success. Everything worked as planned, but legs are a little more tired than usual. Found a great wifi connection and a great B&B "Maison Moi." Now resting as I write this, planning for the next day's ride. I'll sleep well tonight, but not looking forward to the weather, which promises a bit of rain.
The bike: Surly Troll in ultralight bikepacking mode (packing list to follow)
The route: mile after mile of this
