    He was thinking so much about January 6th the whole ride, that sort of outrage is draining. He couldn’t even crawl that last .1 miles, after the psychological toll taken by Donald Trump and his insurrectiony minions.

    Education is extremely important.

              You struck a moment, Blondie. As you were typing this, I was mulling taking up painting. My thought: I can't paint. I could never do that.

              Plus, all those painty smells. Bleh. I didn't invest $43 in essential oils and a diffuser to make the house smell good just to funk it up with painty smells.

              BUT if I really really wanted to, I'd try at least. Are you sure you couldn't do that ride? If you want to, I mean.

              Now returning the thread to Jon's great achievement.

                    I'm guessing his ass is in worse shape than his legs.

                    So just another typical monday morning for Jon....

                          After day one my neck was killing me, and I thought it might be my downfall day 2. But day two towards the end my legs were about spent and I wasn't noticing my neck, it didn't help that half the elevation gain was in the last 10 miles.

                          Oh - Day 1 started at 49F with an 18mph headwind, gusts of up to 30.

                            That's really so cool, @jon-nyc .

                            Proud of you.

                                    @89th Seriously - I rode the 1/10th of a mile from the finish line to the parking lot to make it a full 100.

                                          That is awesome Jon!! A headwind like that can be brutally draining. You guys look like you had it with no problem! I think they like to put those uphills on the tailends on purpose lol. The Elephant Rock ride in Colorado always had a brutal hill right in the last mile.
