Week #34 Gravel Worlds Long Voyage

 



Week #33 - 552 miles

My second Long Voyage is done and it was hard. The first few miles started out at a casual pace then it was full gas. At 81 miles we stopped to refill bottles and broke the group up a bit. The mud section, broken aerobars, and a tire that bubbled inside were the only real issues that I had. Jeff Wills and I rode most of the course together but he was so strong on the flats and down hills that he pulled away from me over the last 40 miles. I do appreciate him letting me sit on his wheel for a large portion of the race. I tried to pull some but seriously I was just hanging on for dear life most of the time. I really tried to minimize the time off the bike, so around 20 minutes total. Super happy to get 6th overall and 2nd masters on a very fast day. Next up will be Cannonball 550 at the end of September. Really excited for this!
