Summer League Day 2

Light run

I've had this route stubbed out for months now. I'm stoked that I finally got to try it for the first time! A great route for my first century of 2025! (and first one since two years ago!)

I got an early start so I could get back in time for other Memorial day shenanigans.

I felt fine for the first 2/3s, but the last 30 odd miles I had to dig pretty deep to make it back. In all honesty this was probably a stupid way to build endurance with my limited riding this year, but YOLO. The strain on my legs was more than I should have done given the fact that I almost passed out when I got back and could barely stand. But we made it through so that's "all" that matters. Hopefully the next one's easier.

First long ride on the 35mm gravel tires. Pretty happy with how they felt. Especially on the canal trail. I'm overall pleased with my avg speed despite the heavier less aero setup.

Lots of fun sights/stops along the way kept it interesting:
- Sunrise on the canal trail (one of  the best I've seen!!)
- Lots of Canal gravel trails to explore
- Dippin Donuts in Rome (Worth the excursion alone)
- Biking through Rome/passing Fort Stanwix
- Trying "and failing" to bike around Griffis Airport (Strava said the road was open to the public but the restricted access sign clearly said undo my progress. Naturally it was at the farthest point along my lap around the airport)
- Gulf road (what is it with roads named Gulf? They are always beautiful and some of the more fun terrain to ride)
- Lake Delta (never been, but a quaint little Gem. I should visit the State Park sometime. The fog over the mountains was majestic)
- Passing Woods Valley Ski Hill (fancy lodge/nice layout so it appeared)

Overall 8/10 not always a fun time, but overall a very fun time!
