Veronica- Yes, thank you. I've also been doing a lot of reading on the Ultra Marathon Cycling site.

Jo- You are so lucky! I wish there was something like that here.

Now I'm reading about a 12-hour race next month. I wonder if that would be fun. It starts with three 3.7 mile loops in a stadium, then an 89 mile long loop, then 11 mile repeats of a short loop till time is up. I think I could do that.

I kind of wish I had a buddy to ride with, though.
