The longer events I ride, the more I think I should be riding for a nice afternoon like normal people and putting the bike away in daylight. :)
Brimstone 600k this weekend though. :D
I was going to look at getting a 46T onto the bike. More for gravel riding but I've got a Wolftooth on the Mason so it seems sensible to test it on that first.
Or a 51T! Unlikely, right...

I've had some good ones too, but the shit ones haunt me. They can really cost lots of time because, when I don't sleep, I make bad decisions.
I don't do that timing error, I'm usually pretty good in estimating where I'll get to. Also I aim to sleep early / start early nowadays, which gives me more of a buffer if it takes a bit longer than expected to get to the hotel.
I just stop somewhere, unpack, lie down, and realise that there is something that I didn't spot. Then I don't want to start riding again, as I've wasted half an hour and its getting late, but I should keep moving as I'll get bugger all sleep!
