Upside down dogs.

Makes me think of Allie.

This is a ride report I posted on Bikeforums from my 200k ride this weekend. It's long, and written for cyclists. It's sad, so I'm warning you in advance...

There must be something therapeutic about sharing experiences after your first major long distance accomplishment. Here's mine:

After a few long tandem rally rides and MS 150s with my wife, I got the bug to try long distance riding solo. I finished my first supported century this summer with the club and set my sights on the next distance goal. I like the idea of riding unsupported and so decided to sign up for the last 200k Brevet event in my area, the Turkey Trot 200k Brevet out of Brentwood TN. I figured it would be a good training experience and give me an idea of if I would be able to handle the full spring brevet series next year.
