Sat-Jun-29 "Bay Leaf - Oxford - Bay Leaf" 104k perm-pop

[Martin Shipp]

First, good luck and bon route to anyone doing "Cary to the Dairy" tomorrow.  

 

 

The heat index out on the courses north of Raleigh is forecast to reach 97. 

Forecast heat index for Raleigh is above 105. 

I want to finish my ride well before that becomes an issue. 

 

Therefore, I'm starting tomorrow at 0600. 

RWGPS of the route:  ( https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45223225 ). 

 

This a Permanent, not a Brevet.  

Therefore, to ride, in addition to being a RUSA member, one must also have registered for Permanents this year and register via the waiver process in/on the RUSA website.  For information on how to do that, see this link to the RUSA website which explains (I hope). 

 

The start will be from the Bay Leaf CVS -- see the RWGPS link above. 

Park around to the side of the CVS; i.e., park near NC-50/Creedmoor Rd.  

 

Completing this perm-pop will count toward a P-12 Award and RUSA distance awards.  It will not count toward the Rouleur Award or the RUSA Cup; nor will it count toward any ACP distance awards. 

 

Please feel welcome to contact me (on-line or off) if you have any questions. 

Enjoy the ride, 

...Martin

Hey All,

I did this last weekend in Danville. Only 3 have completed it and in under 24 hours. 

I am, and my friend are the 2, and 3.

We started at 4:30am to beat some of the heat. 

If you want to do something different. 

Have fun over the weekend. 

Ryan

I've signed up and plan to join you tomorrow.

That sounds fun too!  This week has been difficult for me to plan anything. I’ll fly solo tomorrow. Which is sometimes nice too. 

Martin, do we have anything planned for July 12 that I’m not seeing? I want to make my July plans well ahead of time. Hopefully this will avoid my mad dash to get a ride in before the month ends. 

I’ll post a ride here that gives us all lots of advanced notice.

The "Oxford" route is the shortest and easiest of the three "north of Raleigh" perm-pops.  

I thought about announcing an 0430 RBR (for 109k) or an 0500 Denny's Store (for 138k), but decided that an 0600 start would potentially be of more interest. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 

July 12th is a Friday.  No events scheduled for Fridays.  

 

There are, however, two brevet-Populaires scheduled for Sundays in July and one brevet-Populaire scheduled for a Saturday in July.  The Sunday events are because of info that some that are (or may be) interested in giving Randonneuring a go, but always have to work on Saturdays, so: 

 

Region	Type	Date	kms	Route	Contact
Raleigh	RUSA populaire	2024/07/07	107	Mt. Tirzah Populaire	Martin
Raleigh	RUSA populaire	2024/07/14	125	Ravenstone - Denny's Store 125K	Martin
Raleigh	RUSA populaire	2024/07/20	153	Ravenstone Mayo Lake Populaire	Martin

 

Doing those three rides and the two that are currently scheduled for August would make the required rides for the RUSA Rouleur Award.  

--------------------------------------------------------------  

 

"lots of advanced notice" for a Permanent in an attempt to draw a crowd is a good thing.  

 

 

Enjoy the ride, 

...Martin
