I missed the organized M1/4 I was referring to in my OP, that was last month and honestly I couldn't swallow the $600 entry fee after I paid as much as I did for those aero campagnolo bidons mentioned a few pages back.

Still, I'm doing one SOLO this weekend. Spare a thought for me on Sunday at any time between probably 4 AM and 11 PM.

You would have gotten a really nice tech t-shirt and a bidon (non-arrow). Worth the fee IMHO.

He said he didn't do it yet. You think he's making all this up? Like this is some sort of joke?!

This thread resurfaced at just the right time as I've been training all summer for a solo metric quarter century. Should be ready with just a few more weeks of arduous preparation.

Will there be a drug test?

I sip a double espresso shot through a Twizzler. Then I eat the straw. Usually good enough to get through a grueling metric quarter century. Any further than that, I'm stopping at a convenience store for a Mickey's and some Slim Jims.
