Thanks, Bill. I'm aware of my relative youth. Two years ago, I spent the first 20 miles of our 300k listening to everyone else talk about how they got into randonneuring because their kids were grown and they just didn't need to be around that much anymore. It explained why it seemed like a good

Super write-up, Brady! I rode a 200 last month in a bigger group than I'd ridden with in the past (2 instead of 1, ha!) and likewise found myself pushing when I thought it was un-wise but hanging on nevertheless, building confidence along the way. Best of luck with the buildup to LEL! Mack in
