I was worried about going the 90 that first day and it would take me too long or I would break something causing a delay and not make it or I would need too many breaks and stops or get stuck between towns or who knows what. I had adequate supplies and lights but still went my "normal" comfortable pace I usually ride my routine 30 mile trips waiting for the reason I'd get held up and throw off my whole trip schedule and that never came. I had a 60 mile marker bailout plan but flew right past it. I was not racing anyone or trying to keep up with anyone, this was a solo. Rookie mistake. There will be a next time soon and I'll take it easier.
