Just an update: I didn't ride the 600 straight thru. Had two straight hours of rain headed into the overnight control, and nobody else was up for continuing w/o a break. Still had a great ride: beautiful new course thru Oregon's Coast Range, middle coast and Willamette Valley, with pretty decent weather. The two hours of rain Saturday night was the only precip worth mentioning, and the temps never got below the high 40's or over the low 70's. And being the only 'bent rider who showed, I now hold the recumbent course record!
