I am probably going to enter a 600k Randonee on June 12th (haven't quite made up my mind yet)
This would be my first 600k. My furthest ride so far is just over 300k (10 days ago) and I finished in 14 hours without feeling too tired or sore at the end so I think I have the basic fitness for the 600k
Anyone out there got any tips?
My main area of concern is night-time riding and sleeping. If I feel OK I plan to just keep going but I guess tiredness will set in at some point and I will have to get my head down for a few hours. I thought I would take a lightweight bivvy bag with me just to cover me while I lie in any convenient field/churchyard/garden or whatever. Also my navigation during daylight hours isnt great so I dont rate my chances of sticking to the route in the dark.
Any advice (apart from *dont do it*) ?
