We also finally have rain during our brevets!
28 hardy riders have set out to tame the 200K rolling course. As of
now, all except one have crossed the first control.

Most riders should've passed Huliyurdurga by now and should be heading
towards Maddur, which is the second (unmanned) control.

:(
28 people turned up, 57 had registered. Now I have to deal with a lot
of wastage (of cuesheets, maps, brevet cards).
I had only a few people telling me before hand that they were dropping
out -- thank you!
But this rant for another day :)

Sorry, no new pics here.

While I didn't ride the brevet, I did ride the populaire and was in awe of how the whole thing was organized in a simple and perfect way. I was in a pretty bad shape and wouldn't have had the rush to complete the ride if it wasn't for the beautiful route. Whether it was the instructions, cue sheet (with picasa links!) or accurate description of road conditions, the iisc team never ceased to amaze me with the attention to detail. Big hi fi to the organizers and volunteers who have brought us this awesome brevet season with super scenic and challenging routes!

Given that you had 50% no-shows, looks like you had many just-in-case
registrations, since you didn't allow just-in-time ones, and there was
no penalty for dropouts. Put a charge on registrations perhaps next
time, or allow last-minute additions. Anyway - dont throw the papers
away - is there more there than the website has? If so I would love to
get a copy and cycle parts of the route - I don't have the endurance
to do the whole route yet, hoping to get there someday...
In any case, I think you guys have done a great job documenting these
rides - thanks for that!

Vasu, no update from you, did you ride or not?
