June 3, 2019: CASTLE TRAIL | Badlands, SD 🚲

Twas a quiet morning as I was absolutely speechless. This place is exactly what I wanted it to be.

28 days on the road had come to an end. I was utterly and completely exhausted.. running on pure adrenaline, sun kissed, limbs all scratched up with bruises and sore muscles for days. I could not wait to hibernate but couldn’t stop thinking about all we had packed into those 28 days.

The original plan was to recap each day as we went, editing footage and keeping a journal.. but by day 3 I realized there was absolutely no way to keep up. So, I promised myself that within a year, I would gather my thoughts, the footage, the Strava routes, the notes and somehow document it all. Nothing like waiting β€˜til the last minute.
