Wow did things get soft and exposed quickly during this ski. Was 32 when I started and 40 when I stopped,,, need a few inches, not a warm spell

Afternoon Nordic Ski

Idea of the event  was to ride easy and attack segments. I rode easy and tried to survive segments. This course was a lot of off road riding and I was running 32s fully inflated. Everyone else's bike could basically have eaten mine. A few people thought I was trying to use a road bike. I am totally out of my league but really enjoyed a beautiful ride. Just have hardly ridden a bike at all this year and was exhausted by mile 30. Held it together on some solid climbs so all is good. Still 8 miles to go after Strava dump, then party on the farm. Really nice and fun event. Waffle and taco rest stops, bands playing into the night!. Pretty entertaining to watch the flybys and see the whole pack go past me going down Love Run. Awesome as well that I have the second to slowest time on the decent segment ever (1) and the only climb segment I am in the top 10 on was not long climb that was not part of the scored segments for Keystone Gravel! But, I have something!

Keystone Gravel. Gorgeous scenery, but I really ought to consider riding my bike a little before taking these things on...
