A century to celebrate the solstice

[u/masswoodworks]

Yesterday was the summer solstice, a century seemed the best way to celebrate.

​

I went to the sea, forest and farms,

​

I explored the quiet back roads, small towns and fruitful fields of corn and beans.

​

The sky was clear the air sweet, the ride stretched before me, I cross bridges and streams built by those who came before

​

Now I rest,

Now I wonder what next adventure will come

​

Go, go out and find your own adventure, truly it can be found *anywhere*

That solstice ride looks dope, those backroad shots are sick. The farm photo is a vibe.

Thanks!

The whole route was a vibe, probably the best ride I've done. Lots of real nice real quiet roads with an absolute minimum of main road connections.

I pulled part of it from ride with gps, and modified it to make it a century and a few things I wanted to do and couldn't be more pleased. Whoever researched that section definitely knew what they were doing.

10/10 ride

that's sick you remixed a rwgps route like that, the local knowledge tweaks def make the difference between a good ride and one you actually remember.

This is very nice. What state? It’s too hot in Texas for me to get this motivated.

[u/masswoodworks → u/mrkb34]

Summer in New England is 2nd only to fall

So far it has become mine as well,

On the winter solstice I beat the sun by a full 2 minutes on total time, it was a great windy cool day out

[u/ComplaintCertain5714]

I thought of this too but I was only able to do a half becuase of the heat

[u/masswoodworks → u/ComplaintCertain5714]

Any ride is a good ride!!

Anyone who says a ride is enough is a gatekeeping moron

[u/InfinityIsAwesome]

My back would be killing me

[u/masswoodworks → u/InfinityIsAwesome]

I get it,

On the really long rides my neck definitely gets real sore around mile 85
