      I had to drop at mile 250! Never slept tho and had some mechanical issues that I couldn’t fix. Absolutely gutted about it but learned a ton. Had a massively improved bike set up. New carbon wheels, new drive train… it was awesome. Still ran tubes with the 44mm WTB byways but will go tubeless before unbound xl. The weather… it was almost freezing at Saturday morning and started to rain on me Sunday morning at like 4 am. Actually as I had the mechanical issues, the gods decided to continue the rain about 8am on Sunday. Otherwise it was perfect all day Saturday. Felt strong almost the entire time and would’ve probably finished around my goal of about 30ish hours. Probably…
