Bike MS will always be known to me at MS 150; for the traditional-150 mile routes. My goal for 2020 was to ride 150 miles in 5 days, but I reached 150 miles in just 4 days. Actually, 151 miles and some change. What’s one to do? Keep riding, but make it short!

Ride Summary

Experience

  • I climbed and the evening creeped forward. I worried about getting too cold on the way back down.

  • I didn’t get too cold on the way back down. The descent wasn’t as epic as I imagined.

  • Vehicles passed too close and foo fast. It was rush hour and there wasn’t much shoulder. I can see why this isn’t a very popular bike route.

Weather

  • Perfect.

Spotted

  • A creek.

  • A cemetary with someone born in 1822.

Roads

  • Smooth, with some stretches of dirt and gravel.

Mechanicals

  • None.
