Honestly though, that was a lot of work. Not sure really if it's worth riding that far in one day. Except for maybe a little bragging, and a sense of accomplishment, what's the point?

Now, I'm curious what motivates people to ride that far in one day. What do YOU get out of it?
Sore and tired today ? Lol. Take some time off hard rides for as much as a couple weeks.

You got to be a much stronger rider. The next one will either be easier or you can shoot for under 6 hours and brag to us about that
