    So how long did it take? ~25 hours? Tell us more!

    I told others I'd be happy with 30 hours; I was secretly hoping to break 28. On the day(s) it wound up being just over 36 hours! I never though I'd do a 600k that slowly and still feel proud of the effort. I executed to the very best of my ability; the weather conditions dictated a slow time. Without exception, every rider suffered through multiple bouts of hyperthermia.

    That's amazing, Bill. Was this the last brevet for PBP?

    Matt,

    This was, indeed, the last link to qualify for PBP: We're going to Paris, baby!

    I'll roll another hilly 600k in five weeks to complete the preps for PBP.
