Populaire or 200 KM to start the year?
|
| |
Dear Randonneurs:
I KNOW our local RBA and by the sounds of it tons of others are planning multiple 200 km brevets, if not double full SR series for the year -- especially in the more active areas. However, our starting 200 KM is 9 JAN 2010. Yeah, I know some areas, LOTS of areas, have theirs scheduled for 2 JAN 2010, but isn't that a bit much to start the year?... more »

A.Word.A.Day--homologate
|
| |
How appropriate for the fall, where we have perhaps scaled back our riding... but there's no better time to build up our randonneur vocabulary. Anyone dealing with the ACP has come across "homologation". I'm not sure if "randonneuring" is yet officially in the dictionary, being another word for something "you most likely don't do every day".... more »

Organised ride?
Any route?
Any speed?
Where to rest, eat, wash, sleep?
What distance?
Some explanations please. I know people who do these things but not
know precisely what they are doing or what they get out of it. I
understand they are doing long distance rides with an overnight stop
sometimes. Does the knowledge that there are others doing the same... more »

Lowlands1200

Hi all, For the first time ever, in 2010 a 1200 km brevet will be organized in the Netherlands. This brevet, “Lowlands1200”, will start on July 13 in Zwolle, a capital city in the mid-east of the Netherlands. A great deal of the Dutch scenery will be included in the route, which leads through all major parts of the country. Little parts of the route will cross the borders with Belgium (for some km) and Germany (for around 150 km).... more »

Hi all, Just sending a note that I've posted some cycling things on ebay. Pink saddle bag, several undershirts, tights, leg warmers, shifters,jacket, handlebar, etc. Please check 'em out if you're interested! All are in great useable condition, they just either don't fit "quite" right or the shifters are doubles and I ride a triple...things like that. ... more »

I just got some Jones Wares products, and all the tags say is 'machine wash cold, line dry'. The website says to use an eco-friendly light detergent. Thanks for your advice. rob hawks... more »
