Your next task is to complete a Super Series of Randonneuring Brevets (i.e., 200 km, 300, 400, and 600 km).
Perhaps you will be among the 5000 riders of the Paris-Brest-Paris (1200 km) in 2007.
That is the ultimate ride of long distance riders.
Cheers ... you've made a good start.
A good cycling friend of mine from Salisbury, NC does the Brevets all across eastern US. In fact I think he's doing really well in his category-he might even be leading. He keeps pushing me to get out and do one of these things but geez, that just seems pretty mind boggling to me. That has yet to go on my list of cycling things to do but who knows.........
