172 miles with about 40 on one lane canyon roads and 30 of dirt.
Here's a rough map. my gps ran out of juice mid-ride so I had to recreate the second half of the ride

stopped here for lunch...about 2 miles in on a 3 dirt road that isn't traveled much. I took my break where the road turned to a cow trail.

the reason you shouldn't push it when you can't see around blind corners. the road had a thick layer of hay at the exit of this turn.

back on the dirt and time for another break. notice the sheriff in the top right...he was watching the ab divers.

I always wish I lived out west, there's no doubt you guy's have some of the best places to ride out there, dirt or street.

Were the roads pretty packed down? Just asking, because you're crazy to run 100% street tires ; )

Most of the dirt had about 1/2" to 1" of soft stuff on top of hard pack but it was gravel for a couple sections. That sucked as some spots were deep. Only a mile or so was real dicey...steep downhills in the dirt with multiple switchbacks suck when running street tires.

Hey, you made it back safe and had fun...so it was all good!
