Vlado VinceI did it! I rode my first 200km Brevet!

Well done - welcome to the club.
Long distances are like a bug and it gets you in the end.
10 hours is impressive - 200k used to always take me 12
@MikeFromLFE thanks!! I've done a couple of centuries before but this is the first time I broke the 200km barrier. I rode a bit faster than I normally like (I'm definitely not a fast rider) because I wanted to finish before it got dark. This ride had an 8am start, which did seem a bit late for March.
@mejs When I was younger, fitter and slightly madder I used to regularly ride Audax events in England, but also occasionally in France & Belgium.
100km was my favourite distance although the longest event I did was 400km.
Last year (and in previous years) I volunteered as a helper in the London - Edinburgh - London 1200km international event. Now that's crazy but a lot of people do it!
oheso@MikeFromLFE @mejs I would like to try the route some time, but at my pace.
