Truly, I'm so glad that Jeff was smart enough not to take me back to the start. I guess he knows me better than I know myself. Or his head was on straighter at that moment. And, it's funny, but once I *was* back on, those last 5 didn't feel so awful. I expected my quads to scream, or my stomach to revolt, but neither of those things happened. So,it all turned out OK!

As for future rides: Well, I'm most of the way through an R-12 (where you are required to ride at least one ride of 200K or longer every month for 12 months), so I will ride one 200K Nov, Dec & Jan. But nothing longer. I need a break, and I want to work on core strength and cross train alot over the winter.

After that, I'll start building alot more miles and progressively longer distances during the spring, with a 200-300-400-600 series completed by the first weekend in May. Paris-Brest-Paris (1200k) is in August, and I want to qualify for that with the spring series.
