Early pics from the 27th

I didn't get a ton of pictures because my phone got too wet and died about an hour in. Today was unbelievable. Rain all day. Snow on the ground in places. Uphill, gravel, mud, and complete isolation from the outside world. I was three hours into the ride before I saw a person.

I was on the Iron Horse trail all day. It's a no-motor alternative to I-90. Unbelievable. And the piece of resistance: 30 minutes through an abandoned train tunnel, with only my headlight to guide me. It was pretty terrifying but at the same time very exciting.

So I'm tired. Sore. Miserable. And only did 35 miles today. But this is what I signed up for!
