I'm headed north to meet the boys for the 4th Annual @LifeOfBurch subscriber meet-up ride! The trip is ~1500 miles each way for me, and I intended to split the ride into 2 days of 750 miles each. With the rain and my stubbornness, that conservative plan went out the window... I crushed the entire 1500-mile trip in one shot without stopping! Skip around with the chapter markers below.
Time indexes:
