unterhausen, why is finishing a 600k after sleeping a few hours at 400 superhuman? Isn't that what just about everyone does? I'd think it would be more superhuman to ride 30+ hours without the break.
It's the willpower in doing it when you're at home in your own bed, I think he meant. People talk about the 1200ks that go back to the same hotel every night as harder than the ones that tour around, because you can quit without any logistics of how to get back home to figure out -- when the cheapest/simplest way back to your car/home is to keep riding, it's easier to keep riding even if you're mentally ready to pack it in.
I know what you mean about the peace of the road in the dead of night; that's one of my favorite parts of randonneuring.
Good luck on your 1200k!
