Eight of us finished the Greensboro 1000k yesterday. We had some heat, rain, a thunderstorm with a spot of hail, a half-day of headwind, a flooded road to ford and many other memorable experiences. This was my first brevet at that distance and only my 2nd longer than 600k. I rode all but 100k in a group, which is a bit unusual for me - I typically ride solo. On the one hand I enjoyed the chatter, but on the other hand I prefer to ride my own pace.

With this, I've earned the ACP Randonneur 5000 award, and also knocks off July for my R-12. Eight down, four to go.
