Posted another thread but it should have been here - I completed my first brevet two weeks ago, a 200k in Columbus OH. We were really quite lucky with the weather for late March. It was a bit cold in the morning with a bit of a headwind in the last leg, but at least it was dry! Overall it was a nice introduction to randonneuring. Next weekend is a 300k, also in Columbus. I've ridden the 200k distance a couple times before, but 300k is uncharted territory for me. I think the whole key for me is to eat enough, particularly early.

I've promised myself I'd ride a 200k and 300k. From that we'll see whether I'm interested in anything further
