You've got what it takes. To endure 70 odd miles IN THE RAIN!
your fantasy about the couch and the hot tea is funny. I never get that far.
I just fantasize about STOPPING, (sometimes falling) and getting off the bike.
what kind of injury or malady would be sufficient to get me off this bike?
but tea and a sofa? mmmmmmmmm

someone needs to talk to the support crew. That's not right that they abandoned the rest stop.. They have a responsibility to the riders even if most of them gave up!
