Thanks Tom,

Your support during these past months has been essential in helping me achieve my randonneuring goals. Now I have to iron out the details for the 1200K. I am also looking forward to the PA ACP 400K and the PA ACP 600K in May.

Juan,

While others have completed a 1200k in their first season of brevet riding, going for such an early season 1200k is certainly an audacious goal. I figured the 360k Fleche + 40k add-on + 300k "recovery ride" would be a good test to see if the S1200k is within your grasp. You passed with flying colors!

Hi Len,

:) That's exactly how I would like people to feel when they read a report. It has been amazing how experience from other riders has helped me progress to longer distances. This past weekend was a big step towards the Shenandoah 1200K.

Hi Juan- as always , a great ride report. I feel like I was there(, but not nearly tired enough). The longer distances are really challenging, especially with so little sleep during the ride. It sounds like you have a good preparation for the 1200K . The good news is that at some point, it does not get any worse. you just become a cycling machine, food goes in and the pedals go around and somehow you end up at the final controle. Portions of all my 600k or longer rides get fuzzy. Good luck on the Shenandoah!!
