If the temperature had been in the 70s, I believe you would have finished fine. This fall you will lick this ride! The food thing - I almost always end up with too much - although Martin can tell you I don't always eat enough of what I have. I still haven't figured out how to quickly go right to the correct aisle(s) in stores, get what I need, and get moving. Too much indecision costs me time at controls.<br /><br />Great to ride with you and looking forward to the next permanent or brevet that you can be at.<br /><br />...

I suppose either way works, but if you would rather just do comments, that's fine too.<br /><br />I think I'm quite capable of doing 200k's when I am in a bit better cycling shape and used to the distances - I just really did bite off more than I could handle this first time.<br /><br />Definitely want to do the Warrenton-Egypt Mtn ride again (maybe w/o the detour?) and you probably will have to hold on for dear life on the flat sections if I get my self back into shape. I'm good on the flat stuff, not as much on the climbing...:)wolfpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07682982976501225645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057854598444024285.post-58262715546428819792012-07-17T08:53:45.356-04:002012-07-17T08:53:45.356-04:00Nice write-up, Karen.

I've been invited to be a contributor to your blog ... wow! <br /><br />Anyway, back to comments on your post: <br /><br />- It is always interesting to read the blog post(s) of others that did the same ride / with whom you rode. The perceptions are often somewhat dissimilar. <br />- In this case, though, I think our general impressions were in alignment. <br />- However, I didn't realize how much you were struggling, nor how early some of your cramping issues started. <br />- I am confident that anyone that completed AoMM can complete any of the Raliegh / Durham area permanents ... when in shape for the distance. <br />- I look forward to doing the "Warrenton + Egypt Mtn" perm again with you ... when you've rounded into shape and you are more comfortable with the 200k distance ... and I'll likely be holding on for dear life on the flatter sections. <br /><br />...Mskiffrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627376178648891371noreply@blogger.com
