In preparation for my first proper brevet this weekend, the Covered Bridges 200K/400K, a bit on randonneuring. While the 200km I’ll be doing is just a warm-up for those who will spend nearly an entire day in the saddle, it will be the longest I’ve ever ridden continuously and the first time over 100 miles. Exciting!
From Cycling, December 9, 1967:
I HAVE never taken part in any form of competitive cycling of any kind– not a single tourist trial, reliability trial, time trial or race of any sort whatever.
I hope that the racing men will not hold this against me, but rather will be anxious to read the products of the quill of such an unusual beast.
