Interesting ride. Thanks for sharing. Just a critique - the slide show went by so fast even trying to pause on some of the frames wasn't working for me. Maybe add 2-3 seconds for each frame duration.

I got the calculator going here....

Avg mileage comes out to 51.6 miles/day. Thats amazing. Thats 51.6 miles every day for 71 days on average. I hope there were some 0 days in there for rest days? In any event - that is some wild mileage to keep pace with for that period of time.

Elevation gain came out to 32.42 miles.

And I'm trying to work up to riding about 350 miles with 6200ft of elevation gain over a ~8-10 day period....
