Today was my second annual Independence Day ride where I ride from our home in Wyandotte to Devils Lake in the Irish Hills where I meet my girlfriend and her family for a family get together.
This annual ride is really important for me because it gets me ready for next week's ride where I will be doing over 300 miles in 3 days, up to the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. I use this ride to get me ready and fully committed. I ride fully packed with everything I need for my next ride including camping gear and extra clothing as a trial run.
In total I rode over 75 miles in just under 5 hours (view on Strava), which included a lunch break and another to refill my water containers and chat with a guy who is a distance rider as well.
Overall the trial run went really well and I'm really looking forward to hitting the road next week for my next big trip! You can read more about that trip here.
