Congratulations all! I want to play also, in SoCal mostly. In 2012 I've done the Camino Real DC, 14:01, and the Death Valley DC in 14:13, both total elapsed time. As you can see, I'm not as fast and usually arrive not long after dark. The weather for both was glorious. No real highlights or lowlights to share, just good days. I have also ridden a couple of 200k brevets so far this year and have a 300k planned for next weekend.

BTW, I ride C&V bikes for the C&V Century Challenge also, except I am taking it to the R-12 level, at least one C&V 200k brevet or permanent in each calendar month for a stretch of 12 months.

Jim
