Icarus flying into sun overreaching on this one. Maybe best to save this one for 2014 to try again. Went out slow and never caught any Breakers (these are all young Time Trial types out there); passed major group out at Huasna as I was climbing and they were descending. Still believe I did this in reverse loop of their Major Peloton. Oh, well. Wally's SAG passed me twice and honk-waved (was wearing his shop's kit shorts, so maybe he wondered why I was lagging or just thought I happened to be out there solo...). Got dark, all lighting juice went dead, sunglasses were no help, Garmin and food worked great, but at Ontario meets Higuera, I dismounted and walked bike about a mile when Cyclist Karma intervened (Thanks, Blaine!) and I got a hitch back to Trader Joe's and car. Though Garmin has me at 80.5, I will claim forevermore that I actually pedaled 90, even if all of Ontario stretch was in dangerous darkness. Major takeaway as burgeoning Randonneur: pack extra batteries for lighting system!
