WOW! That's an incredible accomplishment! (I bet you're feeling the post-workout ache today.)
I love your description of the ride here. You put me in the sensation of how riding hard makes me feel. This bit especially: This was a long, solid grind into a headwind, where much of the ride all I could manage to do was say to myself One-Two-Three-Four. One-Two-Three-Four as I counted out the pedal revolutions. There's a certain *JOY* in that state, despite (because?) of its extremity.
Anyhow, thank you for sharing this, and WELL DONE.
