The 160 KM route for this year's Deerfield Dirt Road Randonee was a modified version of the first mystery ride in 2016. Of all the rides Will and I have ridden together, the 160 KM remains our favorite route and have been riding it since 2014.
Will and I attempted the first D2R2 Mystery route back in 2016, which I named my post about it: Napoleon's Death March. We probably would have had better success if we had did the roadie version instead of the mountain bike one. Today was our chance to take a mulligan on the original D2R2 Mystery route, accompanied by Will Boericke, a member of our D2R2 crew with a similar lust for adventure and challenging bike rides. Wheels were rolling by 7:05 AM.
