As a complete newbie to randonneuring, it's really apparent how much the challenge ramps up from one brevet to the next. I'm not sure if I would have finished my 300 and 400 if it weren't for some very kind, experienced, and supportive riders. I learned a lot about pacing, nutrition, hydration, electrolytes, etc, and most importantly, they kept an eye on me to make sure I was following that advice.

If/when I do the 600s and above, I'll probably need to sleep on my own schedule, which means riding solo for much of it. That's when all of the above (along with my motivation) will really be tested. We'll see how it goes.
