Congratulations on all your recent riding accomplishments!

Congratulations ,Bill on doing your 200K rando. And no, your 10 X 200
challenge reports were not tiresome in the least!

IMO 23lb is certainly light enough for a randonneuse. My longest brevet was
400km and I did that on 32mm tires on my Marinoni Turismo ~ 28lb. Now I have
also have an rSogn with 40mm Hetre tires, but I'm yet to do a ride longer than
100km on that. I haven't dialed in the fit, but otherwise thnk

I think the Hillborne is the ideal Rivendell rando frame.
I'm having a hard time thinking of anything that anybody would want or
expect out of a randonneuse that the Hillborne does not deliver. Some
people like to do brevets on ultra light carbon road bikes, and perhaps
those people
That pretty much answers my question, which was, really, which of the 10
bikes was nicest to ride when you were putting in all those miles?
The Hillborne seems to have become a long-term, Rivendell staple, like the
Atlantis. I'd probably have kept mine if it could have accepted 50 mm tires

I love that you focused on the experience and fun and the numbers were just the
excuse! Bill’s Excellent Adventure! Grin. Beautifully done, congratulations!
With abandon,

Congratulations on surpassing your distance goal. I am curious to know what it
is about the Hillborne that makes it suitable for the SR series? Is it mostly a
matter of it fitting most comfortably? I've heard so many good things about the
Hillborne, but never really as a randonneur.

Well done, Bill. Impressive and inspiring, to say nothing of the insights into
bikes, bike culture, and rivishness along the way.

Thanks to all for the kind words.
Patrick Moore inquired:
"Out of the 10 bikes, which would be the easiest to ride day in and day
out? Perhaps, with ~3X the miles on the RLT9 than on the others, this might
be the favorite?"
I'm not completely sure what you are getting at with "easiest to
Bill: it’s been great reading following along on your adventure and all of the
great bikes. Really inspiring. And congrats on the weight loss. I don’t have so
many bikes, but I would like to do miles like that and shed some pounds. Thanks
for the encouragement!

It was a pleasure checking in for updates. I find the overarching posts to be
quite satisfying. The ride reports and build journals keep this place human and
humble. Thank you!

Congratulations! Well done!
PS: I don't know you personally like your coworker, but I would have bet more
than $10 you'd be successful! :)

Kudos. No, your reports were interesting, not annoying.
29 miles per day doesn't sound like much in the abstract, but it's pretty
impressive when you put it together, day after day. I'd be happy if I could
rack up the equivalent of half of that.
Out of the 10 bikes, which would be the easiest to

You’re a inspiration.
I recently took up running and am running the Oakland turkey trot on
Thanksgiving. I ran my first 5k today which felt big. If you ever want to run
together let me know!

I had a six week sabbatical from late August to early October. I decided I
would 'ride a lot', and I decided to give structure to that goal by
challenging myself to ride 200 miles on each of 10 bicycles over the 93
days of August, September and October. On Friday the 27th, day 89, I
