Yay, made it. It being the PCH Rando 300K. Yes, that is 185 miles, and yes, that is a long way. It took 14:39, at an average speed of 15mph. (You start in the dark, at 6:00AM, and finish in the dark, at 9:00PM, and spend the time in between eating and drinking and riding. And fixing flats.) In addition to being 50% longer than the 200K I rode a few weeks ago, there was more climbing (over 8,000') and headwinds out and back. It was a great ride; we had nice weather (except for the wind) and once again the ride organization was excellent. Thanks to Mark my riding partner, who continues to impress me as he does these rides on an artificial hip. Wow.
Me on PCH near Malibu, en route to Lake Casitas, Goleta, Carpinteria, and back...
300K = 189 miles + 8,000' = one tired rider
You might ask, why do I do these rides? I have no idea. It must be fun?
