Has anyone woken up yet to tell us how the brevet went?

Great ride: much cooler than daytime ride, very little traffic, and not too much wind.  My new light and motion stella worked well.  
I got separated from group, but was able to meet up with them at the stops.  I missed them at the first stop however, as I went past it going to the Shell station in Columbus.  The brevet route used the the Shell station on I-10 located just east of Columbus as the control point. By the time I arrived at the correct control point, the others had gone. 
There were nine of us at start and eight finished.  We are assuming Christopher returned to Brookshire after Columbus. 
One downside of night riding was that that dogs seemed more agressive.  I was chased by four different dogs.  One chased me twice, going to and from Chappell hill.  One dog got in front of my bike forcing me to brake to keep from hitting it. 
Yesterday I didn't get much sleep.  I was pretty worthless on Sunday.   I didn't get home until almost 8 am. I only got a couple hours sleep.

I've just noticed on the results that most of the riders stayed
together - we should do more of our rides like that.
