This Saturday was going to be my first brevet, but the early start time threw me for a loop. Despite preparations Friday night, I managed to miss two alarms and woke 40 minutes before the ride’s start at 5:00 am (which was about 45 minutes away from my house). So I went back to sleep and managed to fit a later ride for 63.8 miles, just over half of my planned ride. Luckily I think that was enough for one day. My aspirations for ultra-endurance will have to wait a little longer.
