Nice work! That's a lot of time in the saddle, as well as a long time in a pair of bike shorts (sort of a tiny biology experiment to see what can grow in a warm moist environment).

I'm assuming that this is the ride you guys did? https://www.rideacrosswisconsin.com/
Pretty cool that Trek supports the ride, as well as sending Jens over for moral support.
Side note: Jens came to Peoria to help with the opening of a Trek store, and he seems like a great guy! Plenty of fun stories.

Congrats on grinding out a ton of miles, and for showing that fine steel bikes aren't a significant hindrance for endurance events of this sort. For non-elite athletes such as us, the rider is a much larger factor than the bike when it comes to covering long distances at a good speed.
