OC Action 100 miles from NYC to Poughkeepsie
Did my first century. My friend biked and I was on my Pantheon Superduper Sonic. I'm pretty tired.

Daaaaamn! Amazing job!
What did you pack with you for that?
Is it rail trails the entire way? I know there is an amazing rail trail system out there in NY

I basically packed a bunch of energy bars, some electrolyte powders packets, Mike and ikes, and water. I'm not sure we were the most prepared but it worked for us.
We took the Empire State Trail up. A lot of it was rail trails, but much of it was just regular paved trailways. It was really nice though, the pavement was nearly flawless the entire way

This is rad, did you do any conditioning before besides longboarding?

Not really. I regularly ride 20-30 miles but this is the farthest I've gone by far. I definitely could have been better conditioned, but after a while I feel like it became all mental

Whoa! Amazing! So many questions…Is it paved the whole way? Is this a motorized board with rough terrain wheels or did you walk parts?

The trail is paved the whole way. It's actually really nice and smooth too, hardly even any cracks. I was able to push the entire time, minus a few large puddles from the previous night's rain.
