I have ventured into the world of distance cycling known as randonneuring. You do a series of 200K 300 ,400 and 600K then you are a grand randonneur! What does that get you? A chance to ride in the most grueling event for cyclists Paris Brest Paris, a 1200 K held avery 4 years with 5,000 participants. I recently completed the 400K 252 miles in 20 hours in Clermont.It was very cold 32 degrees and riding Sugarloaf in the pitch dark is scarry. It was tough, mentally tough.
These rides are unsupported. They arn't a race but you have a card that is stamped at checkpoints and there is a time limit. If you want to read more about them go to RUSA.org.
The 600K is April 10. I plan to take a 3 hour sleep break in order to finish in time.
PS that is why I am riding by myself alot.
