I guess now I'm officially a Radonneur! :)
Was hoping to do it in 9 hours, but <9.5 hours wasn't bad considering I only had about 2 hours sleep and that I was holding back so as to not lose people...
Started leading a largish group, but then lost a few people to the pace. Did that for the first 1.5 hours at about 90% effort. Then gave it over to the others who kept saying no one else was going to want to work that hard for the full 300 km's. But I quickly took over again, as it was a bit too slow for me - but I made sure people could hang on my wheel, rather than just take off.
Eventually, there were just 7 of us. We were the first cyclists to reach each of the 4 checkpoints, including the finish!
I led the peloton most of the way - probably 85-90% (seems to me we had more than 50% headwind!), with the others happy enough to ride along at a good clip. I used the lap/split function to mark our arrival at each checkpoint (there's one that shows a time of 6 seconds - that's when I accidentally hit the button twice at one stop).
The organizer came up to me later and said "you must be the strong stranger everyone is talking about!" Nice compliment. I had to lead - I can't do just 31 or 33 km/hr - I get too impatient.
What a great day - not full-out race pace - maybe 85% with a few dipsy-doodles when Garmin sent me/us in the wrong turn (including one where I dropped a chain, then had to hustle to catch up with the group and resume my lead duties!).

Useful for any GPS unit. Contains no cuesheet entries, only track information (breadcrumb trail). Will provide turn by turn directions (true navigation) on the Edge 705/800/810/1000/Touring, but will not have any custom cues. Works great for Mio Cyclo. Find GPS specific help in our help system.
Estimated Time shows a prediction of how long it would take you to ride a given route. This number is based on your recent riding history, and represents an estimate of moving time. Each time you upload a new ride, your Estimated Time profile will adjust to reflect your most recent riding. Only rides exceeding 10 miles (16 km) will affect these estimates.
