most def the hardest ride I have ever done. the last 30 miles was dangerously close to bonking on the side of the road

Wow. Amazing, a well-earned congrats!

What was your average speed, out of curiosity?

Did you take any breaks and if so for how long? Any pictures? I would love to try something like that but I think if I get close to mountains I would rather bring my DH bike.
