Thanks for the write up. Sounds like s lot of fun and I’ll have to try a Brevet
someday. I especially enjoyed the write up for the Sam, which I think is often
the underrated Riv bike. My riding experience of the Sam is similar and despite
the weight I don’t feel much slower. The weight of the Sa
I'm planning on San Francisco 300k and then Santa Cruz 400k, 600k. As far
as the time goes, yeah, the other rides I did I sat around and enjoyed a
bunch of food, but even then, I think my average speed on my ride was
faster this time even with much less time for breaks. Hope to catch you on
some

Watching the Winter Olympics, the Norwegian speedskaters switched to blue
suits (from red), claiming they are the fastest color. Duh, the Dutch
dominate speedskating. Why? ORANGE!

Stirring ride report Bill! Congrats. Sounds like all those miles this summer
resulted in a well tuned rider and ride.
The orange paint has to subtract at least 5lbs from the bike right?!?

A couple hours off your best time! That's pretty major. I was happy to
shave a few minutes. It will be a little challenging for me to find a
300. Both the Davis and the SFR ones are on High School Race Days, which I
can't miss. The SLO one is really soon (2/18). That might leave me with

It was a great day on the bike. I also felt strong, and it was the first
time in my life that it felt like I had a tailwind all day. (It's usually
the opposite!). I decided to ride my Roadeo because I didn't need lights
for this ride and could enjoy riding unencumbered. For the 200k, I usually

Bill,
Your ride and report - well done!
While I’ve never done a 200k brevet I can relate to how you felt while riding
your Sam. Mine makes me feel the same way. That synchronicity between bike and
rider is truly special. Something I realize mainly from the SH.
Best regards,
Richard

Great ride report and good-lookin’ bike! Can’t imagine only needing the minimal
kit you mentioned! I too have converted some of my bikes to 1x - works
fantastic for 80% of the rides I do.

As I've said before, I'm pretty much an unracer. Last weekend I did my
first ever mountain bike race, so I called that un-unracing. Yesterday I
did my 22nd brevet with San Francisco Randonneurs, and since randonneuring
is not racing, unracing, or un-unracing, I'm calling it un-un-unracing.
