Yes indeedy, so inspiring I wnet right out and rode my favorite 64 km, tailwind going out, moderate head wind back until I cleared the trees with 15 km to go, then it (the wind) was pretty strong. Of course, ahving no seccret weapon, I suffered immensely. Had to stop at a drive thru caffeine shack with 8 km to go and picked up an Italian soda to help me make it the rest of the way. If only I had a secret weapon...

Anyway, thats great on the Brevet, I'm going to reread your Randonneur thread, see if it's something I could do around here in north Idaho.

And boy, the topics really get churned thru here in the Road forum, just a few hours and this was already on page two.
