note to EVBLAZER: Unlike many traditional rides (ie pay rides), a very high percentage of Randonneuring requirement is mental. So if you go into an event saying you can only complete "x" miles, then it will be difficult to overcome that mental limitation. I'm speaking from years of experience.
Back in my college days in the early 80's, I was seated #7 in the 100m (10.5). To psych out the competition in the qualifying rounds, I faked being sick. The end result was that mentally I destroyed my chances and lost in one of the qualifying rounds. I went back to the school van and cried!
Ray ,you are correct. These rando rides for Peggy & myself are at least 70% mental. AND every ride is its own adventure. Let's hope for a good 'bent turnout. Saturday. I know there are some other randonnuering riders planning on riding also.
