Got 'er done. Finished my 200k permanent, which completes my R-12.
Usually, on Lone Star Randonneur rides, there is a group riding faster than I can keep up with, and then some of us stragging along behind. Well, today the group (9 or 10 people) was moving slower, and I was able to keep up with them for the first 70 muiles or so, which made it a more fun ride. Cool but sunny all day, breezy, but not too terrible, and I made the ride in 9:25 or so (which, for me, is pretty good, but not the best I've done, either.)
