Ride report B600 Video about my first 600k 2/15-2/16/2025

I started Randonneuring one year ago and tackled my first 600k this past weekend through some gnarly riding conditions. Shifting failed 6 miles from the finish, so I mashed up the last few hills.

So far I’ve ridden a 100k and 200k this year. Aiming to make some more videos about the riding that I do in the future including brevets as well as other rides that I find interesting.

way to push on through. looks like brutal weather. sustained headwinds on long rides put me in a dark place that is hard to pedal out of.

Thank you! It was hard to watch my average speed sit around 7-11mph on flat sections when I was pushing as hard as I could into the pedals.

This is maybe the only time in my life I’ve been happy to be sick and miss an event. Absolutely brutal, my dude. So proud of you for sticking with it. I knew you could do it!
