• Managed both there and back on my brakeless HHSB and came to the conclusion that I will never do that again. I left at around 8 and rode with a few random awesome dudes (im terrible with names) till the rest stop at which point they stopped and I continued. It was kinda nice kinda zoning out listening to various NPR podcasts and enjoying the solitude. I reached Dunwich for about 4:45. Had celebatory jam sandwich and headed back. The return slog was a pure mental challenge. My legs were good until about halfway at which point I kept on cramping up. I finally made it back for around 2pm. Instead of sleeping, my girlfriend reminded me that we were going to watch The colour Purple this afternoon. So i've spent the last 3 hours in a dark theatre watching a show about spousal abuse.

    Overall it was a great ride with near perfect weather. Next year however i'm going geared!

    Christ. You win the on "grimmest story" front, The Colour Purple really tops it off.
