It took YEARS for my bank to finally realize that my job requires me to travel all the time. Up until about 2 years ago my card was constantly getting locked. I pleaded with them to put a note in my file that my job requires me to continuously travel so that it’s normal for a purchase to be made in Charlotte and then 3 hours later in Detroit. I’m not sure what they did but I don’t have that issue anymore.

I went to the club today and went on a 65ish mile loop with friends and others. At the coffee stop we encountered 2 old friends who no longer come to club rides. One of these guys is 76 and was one of the best climbers in our club years ago. We asked him to join us on our ride which would add a few miles to what he was doing. He said his battery on his Garmin was low so he couldn't do it. After much ridicule from the group he finally agreed to come with us.
Later, when we had some hills he went off the front and we never saw him after that. While we were riding we passed a group of about 20 riders at the side of the road and I recognized a guy I rode with in the 90s. They started rolling and I had a chance to catch up with him for a few minutes. That was an unexpected treat and I can't remember the last time I saw him but it may be more than 20 years. He moved out of the area back then.
I read that the winner of Unbound Gravel today averaged over 21 mph for the 200 miles of dirt and mud and it came down to a 4 man sprint.

The 50 mile option might be more to my liking.
