Completed my first 40 mile ride

Can't wait for the 3 AM leg cramps! My previous long distance on this bike was 33 miles. This ride was probably 55% gravel, 35% tarmac and 10% singletrack, went over a local "mountain" and included 2,400 ft of elevation. Glad I have that 50t cassette.

I've never gone out w the goal of maxing miles but today felt like a good day. Went out solo and made it happen. If I didn't pack those crackers and GU's I would have been done for.

Hardware notes: 45mm Terra Speeds tires measure 47. The Rudy fork does wonders to reduce arm and have fatigue! The SRAM dropper has annoying left and right play.

I hear that the Felt Breed Advanced is a heavy frame but I have nothing to compare against other than my mountain bikes. This weighs 24 lbs. I have to wonder what riding a 19-20 lb bike would feel like.
