Wow, what a ride. With the 9:30 pm start and good weather in the forecast, I thought my riding partner, Iwan, and I would be set well for this adventure. Instead, the first twelve hours of the ride were done in a deep, deep fog. Both the weather kind and the lack of sleep kind. From 2 AM to 6 AM, I was forced to consume almost all of my on-bike caffeine pills just to keep the forward progress happening. And then on Saturday night, we were hit with some localized T-storms that knocked trees down and left the roads absolutely trashed with debris. Needless to say, we were not doing any quick descending for yet another evening. Sunday, I was rewarded with even more localized T-storms. It was bad enough that Iwan was spooked very badly and had to DNF. I was able to muddle on and eventually get my money picture with a roadside, post storm, sunset. Take that world! This ride is absolutely right at the edge of what I can physically do. It was hard. Really, really hard. I’m proud of my successful finish, but have no desire to put another SR600K on my schedule anytime soon. Note to future self... This is a really hard ride. You do not have to impose a 50 hour time limit, the rules allow 60 hours.
