After a couple of rando events under my belt I now understand the major rule about any rando event. When it comes to the experience of the actually event in the end the mileage doesn't matter. One of my buddies when I first embarked on these types of ride told me something that stuck with me every time I do any type of these rides. "Oh you're doing a rando event? Is that one of those races where the whole point is to have as much fun as you can?". Seriously the mileage is super negligible. Granted it's tough and if you're in for those kind of rides. Jump on it. But if you're not having fun what would be the point? Be it 600k or 10 miles? While I'm happy I got to finish the ride, I'm more than happy for the experience of riding to wonderful looking places with the company of amazing people, while bumming off their food.
