The missed ferry and resultant break might have been a blessing in disguise. I am not even sure this counts as one ride anymore 🤪. Congrats Troy, and happy birthday.
They're are so many ways to do it. Ride your age, ride x miles each year, etc. It's fun having an annual challenge. I wanted my challenge to be hard and it hasn't dissapointed. Go for it.
Nice video. Good to know you have all the same concerns and problems (cold hands for example) that I encounter. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one. What camera did you use?
I just started riding again in 2019 after a 30-yr hiatus. My longest ride is 72 miles. My next milestone is 100 miles. I just turned 61 this April, and I'm pretty sure that 183 miles isn't going to happen anytime soon. Maybe I'll go with 2x my age instead.
Awesome. It sounds like you have some good goals. Coincidentally, I just published a video with tips to ride further. Perfect for taking on your first century ride. ua-cam.com/video/FAvmXvKKzzY/v-deo.htmlsi=IO6YLWJnzUkJSjl8
@@TroyOnTrails That video is the one that led me to this one. Your first tip is the one I need to follow the most. I go out full throttle, and haven't learned to just cruise and enjoy the ride. I'm trying to work on that though.

The burrito was going to happen no matter what. But yeah, the forced break did have some value for sure.
Happy birthday and great ride! Also so cool to see the Dirtworld jersey & banner in your garage.
Thank you. My garage is a bit of a Dirtworld museum for sure.
Cali Burrito and a 3-hour rest sounds like a game changer!!
Happy Birthday.

Oh crap! It's my birthday coming up in a few weeks and I'm thinking this is a great idea. The problem is I'll be 59. 😄
Best of luck with your birthday challenge. You got this!

Yeah. My hands went super numb in the cold. Hard to shift, open food, etc. I used a GoPro Hero 9 Black for this.

Wouldn't let you on the pedestrian only ferry? That's complete BS.
It was full. Too many people going to the Mariners game.
