Thank you for making these threads, Machka. I have learned that I am meant to be an endurance rider and randonneur someday. I sincerely hope it is not in 2018 as I will have to suffer the loss of my dog before I can start traveling on the bike.
I do plan on doing 1000 miles per month as I am doing now in my indoor century training in Zwift and I even hope to get in a or some centuries by planning a stop back at home to let the dog out. I have hopes of possibly doing the century a month if the weather cooperates, but going back out after stopping will be tough.
