Toshi, yeah, great write up and congrats on finishing the 600k. I guess you earned your SR with that ride. Any more randonneuring plans for the year?
Glad you're enjoying your Hilsen. It's a great bike for brevet riding. Last weekend I finally made it across the border to ride with Seattle International Randonneurs (SIR) on their Olympic Peninsula 600k. It was a fantastic ride with incredible support at the SIR staffed controls (1 each day with an overnight control). As usual, I rode the first 100k way too fast and paid for that with cramps which eventually subsided. Managed to get into the overnight control at 10:45pm and asleep by 11:30 which allowed me a nice 5hrs sleep. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not willing or probably even able to ride straight through. Besides, why not break it up into 2 nice long days of cycling? The second day went well with no cramps and I felt really strong through the entire ride. My Bryant randonneur worked well and I feel pretty well prepared for the Cascade 1200k at the end of the month.
