Woohoo Jo!
Jo finished a 200k! Jo finished a 200K!
And she's got a great write up about it in her blog. Of course it helps that she says nice things about me in it.

Jo rocks! Plus she is great fun to ride with.
I have some good pictures of a snazzy looking chick on a motorcycle, doing the hair flip and providing sustenance. I also have a nice one of the matching wrist bands Jo and I were wearing that I'll post later.

Jo does rock! And I'm glad she's learned what she calls "one of the Great Truths of Brevet Survival: Don't Think", so she will now undoubtedly be successful in her R-12 goals.
Good job ladies!

Way to go, Jo!! I am so impressed - that's a long way to ride, with headwinds AND hills! And what a great support team! (Now I get all the Bottle Opener references!)
Very nice write up and photos too!
Keep calm and carry on...

I don't want to hijack Jo's thread, but since you asked. It's good motorcycle hair: Originally Posted by Queen

And I have to take credit for the BEST pic that Jo has on her blog - the attacked by a tree one! That one was fun to take and to send!!!

Man, I just get a big kick out of that tree one every time I see it.
The MHC 200k route should definitely be doable - I totally think you can do it. The support is good; you don't have to carry all your food because they transport it. Definitely get up the mountain and see how you feel. Be sure to start plenty early - give yourself as much cushion as possible.Sarah
