Hi,
Having completed the 100K Willard Bay populaire in the last two years, I think that I am ready to try the 200K! But, I know that I will be considerably slower than many of the other riders that day. Depending on the wind, I’m guessing that I will be able to finish in about 11 hours.

If you are in a similar situation, contemplating the 200K but a bit unsure, I would welcome some company!

Given that my only other 200k took me 13h 15min, and that I'm doing the upcoming ride on my single-speed instead of gears, there's a good chance that you'll finish far ahead of me. So, I'll be there to make you feel speedy.

Why single speed?

I guess that’s like asking why Tele skis instead of (easier to use) AT skis? 

Cheers,
