What a lovely route! I had been out to this area quite a few times, but somehow never on this actual route at all. Thanks to Christophe Stahl for putting this route up and laying down a first time as something to chase. I will be eager to see the fast folks come in and smash this one way, way harder as the weather gets more pleasant soon. I happened to pick a quite miserable rainy mudfest, but at least happy to dodge the summer heat and put in a good effort I'm proud of. Not much to say about the route itself as it's fairly straightforward! Unsupported with some liters of water with 75g sugar per hour, plus two maple packets to top off. The down-scrambly stretch with about 1.5 miles to go was pure hell on such a slippery day and had some close calls. Boy do I love a nice easy finish for the last 0.5 miles or so, though! Nice day out to set up beefier fall adventures soon :)
