Last 25 miles sucked, and I promised myself I was not going to do the 600km I'm signed up for in June. I'm not quitting randonneuring, but count me out for anything longer than a 400km, and even that I'd only do once a year I think. 300km is probably the sweet spot for me.
, outstanding for completing the 400km. How long did it take you? How about a distance of your desire in 24 hours? 600km or longer?? Something like..... Bike Sebring 12/24 My first ride in 2017 I had ridden 307 miles when I abandoned around the 22 hour mark. I had wanted to ride 300 miles, I did and then just wimped out instead of continuing.
