Redemption and Sunshine: Tour De Farm 2025

Written By Marcello Pedalino

We did it! First place in the tandem category for the 67 mile Tour De Farm Gran Fondo!

Ok, ok... we were the ONLY ones in the tandem category and it should only have been 64 miles (we missed a turn) but boy did we have a blast!

Aside from our butts and quads being a little sore today, we are celebrating our redemption. Not only did our chain NOT break this year and prevent us from finishing, we finally summited the “Hell of the West” that is Millbrook Road- a grueling 1 mile hill at a 15% grade incline. It’s an exhausting beast both physically and mentally that will target any muscle fiber that you neglected to train sufficiently.

Kudos to my incredible super-hero wife, Dr. Jill, for being the best accountability partner you could ask for. She is the epitome of consistency and discipline. She practices and trains the same way she plays. All heart and grit without taking shortcuts. The quintessential VIP.

Onwards and upwards...

Cheers, -m
