To Brevet or Not to Brevet

This past weekend the SD Randos held their 300K Brevet. The weather on Saturday was not very good but some very brave riders still rode the event. Meanwhile up in Santa Barbara Steve rode a 140 mile training ride.

Steve’s 140 Mile Ride

Mark’s 300K Brevet

I read the reports from the 2 separate rides and have been thinking about the upcoming Brevet. The next one is the 300K for the PCH Randos. I have been training for a century in April, but I really want to ride a Brevet, not sure why, just seems like an adventure. However, this Brevet is almost twice as far as a century so I’m not so sure I’ll be able to complete it. I am looking at it as great training ride though, with the worst case being a DNF and ride back to the start. Not the end of the world I guess. It’ll still be a good day to ride a bike!
