AJI125 

My longest ride today at a little over 100 miles with 5500’ elevation. Apparently the last year for the Elephant Rock ride, was a fun day though, and overcast almost the whole time staying cooler. Not too much C&V around (including my debatable LeMond) but fun to check out some bikes and ride with others as I nearly always ride solo. Glad I took the LeMond for some of the hills, used the 30:30 more than I had planned. And happy to have 38mm tires for the dirt stretch.

Used the rando bag since why not, and slid my coffee mug with some cold brew coffee in there which was nice sipping for the first hour or so. Bag is stabilized by a nice gugie made decaleur. I have learned that the rando bag (for me) is like a giant snack box always in reach.



At the 73 mi aid station


Had some onlookers





Only photo I got of the dirt, had a reroute due to a closure, most was OK but more washboard and sand than desirable
