In total it was 380km ride over the 3 days. My longest ride before the GT was 70km so day 1 was a bit of a shock to the system! I intentially rode a slower pace to make it through the day. I cramped a bit due to lack of electrolytes. Day 2 i tried to go harder since it was an 'easy' day at 100km. the road was much bumpier and vibrated against my already-sore butt.
Finally i had a great ride on the 3rd day even with the rain! The day started with a 600m climb over 12km. I'm glad to have heather with me for all the hills. We chatted every single hill and discovered the 'granny position' on the bike which saves the back :)
After a few day recovery with easy swims and runs I flew back to Firebag on my b-day, May 7th. We also had a pub night on the 6th at the cat and fiddle.
Here are a few pics from the trip.
