Jim. Congrats on your chilly brevet. You definitely have the stuff Randonneurs are made of! I don't know how you all do it! I don't know if I'll ever do a 300k, but now that I have done a 200k, I can see how it is possible to do a 300! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Thanks, everyone! Been wanting to try a 200k for a while now. Julian, That is funny. My Bleriot was built up by CPBikes. Charles and Phil did it. Also, one of my coworkers just moved to Bloomington Friday! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

That explains the getting dark early, I was thinking if you started at 7am this time of year it would probably be light out until 9pm or later. Good job - 11h59m is good in the rain, it's not supposed to be competitive anyway. Camaraderie, not competition, is the name of the game. The friends yo

"ACP Sanctioned" - for a brevet to be ACP sanctioned, it has to be scheduled (or, as we say, "calendared") by the end of September the year before; RBAs create their calendar for the coming year, the Board reviews ALL the calendars, and then the resultant national schedule is sent off to the ACP

You know DC Rand in the past has had a very popular 200K brevet in November starting in Centreville MD, going out to Slaughter Beach? Flatbread 200K. On 07/07/2016 06:27 PM, Lungimsam wrote: Like I said, I don't think I am fast or hardy enough for Randonneuring. I cannot imagine 10,000 feet of

Started in Centreville, MD and went to Milford and Milton Delaware and back. 129 Miles *Bike and weather:* On 53 Bleriot. Noodles. Loups. 50’s-60’sF. Rainy and cloudy all day. Light rain off and on and a little steady at times, but light enough to be fun. Beautiful day in warm enough temps. Th
