I felt an urge to ride a permanent (and keep my short streak of one permanent ride per month going) and signed up for a 207k ride tomorrow. The weather should be excellent and my legs I think are in decent shape. Last time I did the ride in 9:34 -- not sure if I can beat that time but I think I'll try. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47406640

Made it! I'm very happy with my time: 8:48, thanks to a decent average speed and reducing stopped time to the absolute minimum. I'm pretty dead now.

@haraldkliems I hope you will have a wonderful ride. You don‘t need to beat any times, enjoy the big tour.

@enqueue The nice thing about the route: There's a wonderful beer garden about 20 k before the finish. So if it doesn't look likely that it can make a time, I can just stop for a beer and chill!
