$25 to $45 per event?? That's expensive! Hopefully that price includes support!

Have you had a look at my website? Almost all my vacations since 2002 have included a 1200K brevet and some have also included a 24-hour race as well. They can be a bit exhausting, but I find them quite enjoyable. I can hardly imagine travelling without my bicycle now.
After all ... what else would a person do with a vacation besides cycle long distances???
