Tour of Central Oklahoma - 182 miles (45, 105, 32) in 33 hrs over last weekend.
Camped out both nights to test out my bike touring system, but will likely need to refine it a more. I’d like to be able to keep everything in-line with the frame so that the load doesn’t act so much like a sail in headwinds (there were A LOT on this ride) like it does with panniers. This was rough, not going to lie. No time for much besides riding, eating, and sleeping, and both nights I got to bed after midnight; the first night because I didn’t leave until midnight, the second night because I had to ride an extra 25 miles to reach a legal campsite after an already long ride that I started at 1pm because of the night before. I am a danger to myself.
