Was that a randonneuring/audax event?

When I was in Manitoba, I did the events (200K, 300K, 400K, 600K, and 1000K) mostly with others ... my longest solo stretch was about 300K in the middle of a 600K. I got dropped by a group of riders, and sort of hung about waiting for a couple I knew were behind me, but didn't want to wait too long so I kept moving and rode through the night by myself.

But in Alberta, there were fewer riders, and we were scattered all over the province, so I did most of the events solo (including, as I mentioned earlier, a 600K). At first it wasn't so bad, but after several years of that, it kind of dampened my enthusiasm for the really long events.
