And it is actually a 211K route so by the time I ride from my house, do the route, and ride home, I've put in 141 miles (226K). I have done a 200K on a Saturday followed by a 100K on a Sunday a couple of times. But I still haven't found saddle nirvana yet in spite of trying several different saddles as well as cycling short combinations.
I'm thinking the 300K I will do will be the one my club is holding on 6/29. That will minimize the time spent riding in the dark. I'm a slow rider.
I'm thinking basically the same thing, I would really like to finish a 300K this year.
After looking through all of the GLR rides, I definitely want to hit as many of the 200Ks as I can this year and get more proficient with this whole long distance thing.
Then, if not the 6/29 Turtle 300K, I would really love to do the Upper Door Tour 300K, it looks like a really wonderful route! If that doesn't work out, then I would at least like to do the Chocolate Chicken 120K up there.
