Leah - if you like the idea of a 24-hour ride but want to stay with a group, you might be interested in doing a flèche, which is a 24-hour team ride. All the teams ride different routes to end at the same place. (Flèche is French for arrow, so the idea is that the routes all converging on one spot look like arrows hitting the bullseye.) Minimum distance is 360km, which is pretty approachable, but you have to keep going for 24 hours, not stopping for more than 2 hours in any one place, and you have to ride 25km in the final two hours. I haven’t done it, yet, but am considering one this year. Ben - a thousand kudos to your group. I have much less respect for people who do that ride with support.
