Day 5-July 24-Mt. Morris to Lockport

We anticipated a lengthy day in terms of mileage, assuming it would be relatively flat. Much to our surprise, the first 35 miles involved significant climbing. The terrain leveled off after lunch, but new challenges emerged. A brief, refreshing 15-minute rain shower interrupted our ride. Throughout our journey, winds had been mild except for this afternoon when a persistent 20-mile headwind slowed our progress. I ended up riding alongside Kadin for a considerable portion of the 65 miles. We both concluded that the final stretch, the last 60 miles, proved to be the most demanding. Nevertheless, everyone finished strong.

After tackling numerous hills, we discussed who among us would be the top hill climber in the "Blue Crew". Kai was unanimously crowned "King of The Mountains".

Before the wind intensified, I managed to capture some stunning drone shots. It seems I'm developing a penchant for artistic drone photography. The drone offers a unique perspective of the world, and I'm constantly experimenting with innovative ways to document our journey. Today, on a tranquil stretch of road, I had fun exploring a new technique.Okumaya devam et
