Mile 218 can be an awkward location for a sleep stop along a 373-mile brevet because it's near the halfway point, which some randonneurs find too early. They want a 400K, a rest, and then a 200K, not two big old unwieldy back-to-back 300s. But there's also been a counter-argument floating around that says when it's over 90° and high humidity, you want to rest during the hottest part of the day, and a lot of riders will be arriving at that house between noon and sundown.
Me—it doesn't matter ...
