Week #37 - 473 miles
Saturday was my 3rd time down at the Pony Express Gravel Dash and was able to pull off a 3rd place overall. I wasn't planning on racing real hard but my legs felt good early on so I stayed with the lead group. There were about 5 of us that traded pulls for the first 50ish miles. Once we got past the second checkpoint things started to break up. Lee took off from the front and I wasn't able to hold his wheel anymore. Kevin caught back up with me soon afterwards but my legs said they were done for the day. The last 25 miles I tried just to keep a steady pace incase either one of the guys had a mechanical but that never happened. Happy to get a hard ride in but I can honestly say it is more fun to go for a lot longer at a slower pace. Now I have finished on all three places of the podium which I am not sure anyone else has done. Next up is Sto Mil 100 miler in October and I am also planning on riding the Flint Hills Nature Trail round trip (180 miles).
