I did a thing yesterday

I am visiting Minnesota for a week. Yesterday was the culmination of my year-long bicycle training and my brother and I rode The DAMn - the day across Minnesota gravel bike race. Starting on the South Dakota border at midnight, Aug 1st we had 24 hours to get across the Wisconsin border on a set course consisting of 80% gravel roads through river bottoms and expansive ag fields.
That's a beast. Congratulations!
Between 100 miles on the MTB a few weeks ago and these 240 on the gravel steed I'm ready for some shorter rides for awhile, @cwhartman!
