Wow, @
atwl77, that sounds like quite a ride. Nice photo, too. Thanks for the writeup! My legs hurt just reading it (though Sunday's 200, almost perfectly flat, with no adverse weather condtions to speak of, had already done that).
As @
unterhausen mentioned, I'm signed up for the Iron Porcupine ride in August. I'm also signed up as volunteer for the NY-M-NY ride so hope to be on the pre-ride for that. Before that I have a lot of riding to do, though! I have lost a lot of strength (and speed) since last spring, I'm not sure why. Probably not riding enough. People tell me about this thing called 'training' but until now I have found it hard to take it seriously.

Nope! Traded 'em both in and got a used Prius in my wife's name, to be handed over to our daughter when she learns to drive. Never thought I'd be the kind of parent who buys the kid a car! But she's spending an inordinate amount of time on public transportation (to get to her dance practice, which is in New Jersey, from where she goes to college, whch is also in New Jersey, she has to take the train to NYC and walk ten blocks to the bus station. A lot of time wasted. But I'm nominally car-free again.
