Put a fork in me; I’m done
I rode Orrando’s Breitenbush 300k today, and not only tried to keep up with my fast friends but basically succeeded (I was dropped on a couple of ramps, but in the first case they waited for me because I had the cue sheet for a scenic reroute and in the second case I put my head down and cursed my way along for 6070 miles and caught up with them.)
The gory details for the brevet were
- 13h19 (over a hour faster than my previous fast loop), including
- 3 hours at an average speed of 17.8mph (yes, that’s 50 miles in 3 hours),
- first < 7h 100 mile run ever,
- fastest 200k ever (8h30),
- and a brevet average speed of 14.3mph (moving average of 15.6mph)
A more detailed trip report will follow later
