Longest. Bike ride. Ever.

Today I pedaled my butt off, all the way up to Wisconsin:

The total ride was 130 km (80.8 mi). I had intended only to go 120 km (74.5 mi) to prepare for the North Shore Century in four weeks. But, I took a wrong turn somewhere in North Chicago, and lost the Robert McClory Bike Path entirely. That added about 6 km (4 mi) to the trip. Another 4 km (2.5 mi) got added on when I popped a spoke in the middle of nowhere:

Fortunately, Anne was home and directed me to the Zion Cyclery, and they had me back on the path in under 15 minutes:

So, a good ride, and now I know I'm ready for the full Century on September 17th.
