Tour day one done! The plan was to cruise with my riding partner for the 40k to the lunch spot, then do the 140k challenge route. Unfortunately directions got confused and I ended up on the 100k instead. So I decided to push pace and finish fast. It wasn’t the day I’d planned but it was still very satisfying!

Glad I brought tissues though. The morning speeches and the ghost bike get me every damn time…
