The Longest Day is also known as the Lancaster Longest day Challenge, consisting of 400 miles with ~28,000' of climbing. The climbs are short and steep, as soon as you get to the top of one climb you have a steep descent and a climb right after crossing a stream, there are many covered bridges on this route in the heart of Lancaster County. There were many Amish children, teams of horses working the fields, horse drawn buggies, truly a step back in time. The weather was dry, sunny, warm and the headwinds were variable depending on the direction I was riding!!!
Oh and don't forget about the two laughing Amish Work horses we passed playing in the cornfield at 2:30 AM, crossing the road to the alfalfa field across the street, that refused to let us by on the road.
Thanks to my CREW! Fred, Hummel, Beth, Diane, Chappy.
My time: 29h:59m to complete.
