funny, i totally minded going solo. i had our RBA set me up with a riding partner the first go-around, and then for a 200k i just completed on saturday, i hooked up with a rando guy in the local cycling club i had just joined. kudos to you for your positive attitude and excitedness!
also funny...i was thinking potentially the same thing for myself this year. 1 down, and 11 to go, and i won't have to deal with colder weather until november/december. you being in FL, you should consider yourself luckier than most
. i'm shooting for a 300k completion in may, but i need to figure out lighting. maybe an SR series in 2015? i'm a young gun, so i'm excited to have many years/decades of randonneuring ahead
