Okay, this is not as epic as Tony's ride, but since I've had a bit of extra time off, decided to head a bit north of the Twin Cities on Monday and ride part of the Willard Munger bike trail. As it is mostly flat, decided to ride the SimpleOne. Ended up with 68 miles on the day. Both my longest ride of the year and also the longest ride on the SimpleOne so far.
The bike was the right tool for this job. Did forget about the one re-route from the old railroad grade. Only about a mile and a half, but basically all up and down. Was okay heading north, but on the way back ended up using the two foot gear for one section where I couldn't carry momentum. Of course, it was at that point where Dave Siskind went flying past me heading north. By the time it dawned on me who it was, he was gone, so can't say whether he was on his custom Rivendell or not. Pretty sure he didn't recognize me.
