Ever rode the entirely on Tunnel Hill Trail in one day?

A few years ago, I rode from Karnak to Eldorado and back on the Tunnel Hill State Trail. It was 100 miles altogether.

I plan, I hope to do it again in October.

Have any of you done it? What did you think of it? Would you do it again?

A few buddies were tackling it yesterday, but got rained out. I may go for it sometime in the future. I've tried previously, but not luck

I'll be riding it Friday morning if it's dry. I usually start a Vienna around 9:00 AM.

It's definitely time consuming. A few years ago when I did it, it took me 12 hours. That was on a heavy road bike and I was having eye issues. I hope now it takes me a lot quicker with the not so heavy gravel bike and hopefully not any eye issues.

Hank Dieters has the FKT for it. I may go for it next during the winter months.

I've always wanted to get to a point where I could compete for something like that one. I ride it enough.
