Last Year there was a thread on Goals for 2010:
Here is what I submitted:
1. Fix my back (leg pain)...again.
2. Ride either the Katy Trail or CO Canal self supported.
3. Keep riding to work at least once each week.
4. Map a mixed terain ride starting from my front door.
5. Do more S24Os.
6.
Beautiful bike! I particularly like the color.

Very nice. I'm not usually in favor of double TTs, but on your bike
they look perfect. How the heck tall are you anyway?
BTW, I installed that 6700 RD this summer on my Ram and really love
it. I moved a very good Centaur to another bike when I installed a
doubl ring crank, and have been amazed
Angus, that's a pretty good list of goals and accomplished items.
For myself, I feel I rode a tad less this year but still had a ton of

in regular clothes which was really rewarding. My main riding goal for
the past 3 yrs has
Wake up. Everyday. I'll figure out what the goals are after that.

2010 was kind of a re-awakening to cycling for me. I almost
completely turned over my stable, and developed a vision of what my
cycling life is hopefully going to shape up to be in the next decade
or 3. My 2010 cycling highlights were the 2 S24O's I did (plus all
the buying stuff). I just
I remember this.
Like many of you, my kids come first, so these are all contingent!
1. Complete a SR series
2. Commute 2x per week (now an 11 mile commute, formerly a quarter
mile)
3. Tour SF-SD this summer (or at least to the train station in Santa
Barbara)
4. Ride the Riv on some epic routes
Sounds like my kind of plan! (The waking up part includes ample
consumption of coffee).
Happy New Year!

Congrats on joining RUSA. If you are near Springfield, MO, ride our 200K

I ride a 63cm AHH and use the largest size Berthoud bag. I've used
both the Berthoud decaleur which attaches to the stem on the HB bold
and the VO headset spacer decaleur. Both have their advantages. Not
sure which would work best for your bike. The VO model is certainly
the cheaper of the two but
Go with a loafer and a bar tube combo. easy. I know the boxy bag is
pretty, but I didn't like it. Prefer a bar bag with straps. Plus, the
loafer is super duper secure on a rack and the tube gives you riding
access to the few things you'll want while riding. A thought anyway.

Another option I'm partial to is the Acorn Boxy Rando on the little

comes with 4 velcro straps to attach to the rack platform plus a
sleeve that slips over the vertical piece on the back of the rack. I

I will attempt a 200K on the Romulus, plus a 200K and a 300K on the Alaris.
Anything beyond this in terms of randonneuring will be gravy. I am going to

I have heard the siren song of the Berthoud bag and managed to

If you go with the clamp on approach ( JP Weigle) and use P clips you
need to use a smaller bag anyway for stability. I'm heading down that
road myself. I like being able to remove the bag and not have a
decaleur left hanging out there. That way you also don't have to
worry about over filling

I do something similar with my Ostrich bag and VO headset-mount
decaleur. I loop an old toe strap over the decaleur attachment bar,
and down through the loop at the back of the Nito M12. This pulls the
decaleur down onto the supporting tubes and holds it very securely.

I agree with Steve on this. The selection of the Berthoud bag's size
(height) is generally determined by the spacing, and it doesn't
necessitate that the bag be completely filled! A large bag is,
however, handy if you wish to carry something large but not especially
heavy (it can easily be used
