1200s and GPS Stuff

[Richard Stum]

Hello Group,

Congrats to Ken Moss for completing the Humboldt Coast 1200 last week. Are you still posting on your blog? If so, I would love to see a report on that event.

Also, I am experimenting with a Garmin 1040. I am having trouble getting accurate turn by turn data over from my RWGPS files. I have tried both GPX and TCX, but no difference. If someone out there is an experienced Garmin user, please reach out to me...maybe offline for a possible phone call.

Best,
Rando Richard

Thanks Richard, it was a really great ride. (Brandon also finished, a few hours ahead of me). Great weather, great route, great support, great riding partners. I think Day 3 is among the best routes I've ever ridden, I'll have to do a write up on it soon.

Wow. THAT is impressive. What a tough course but I am sure beautiful. Chapeau 🎩! I’d love to see the write up.

Congratulations to Brandon too. Any others in our local group doing 1,000s of 1200s this season? 

I know Jen Kelly is doing a grueling gravel event in Montana for a couple of weeks.

Hello,

I am still looking for a time to make it to a Utah Rando ride. I like following along and hearing about your rides. I am considering PBP in the future, which is part of the reason I have been hanging out here.

I did Race Across the West in June. This was a supported race but I am looking to do more unsupported rides/races in the future.

Here is the Strava and write up links if you are interested:

Hope you all are well and enjoying your riding.

Best,

Matthew

Hi Matthew, thanks for sharing! There's a lot of overlap between ultra-racing and randonneuring, so I look forward to riding with you some time (or behind you at least :-)

[Richard Stum]

Race across the west? That’s awesome. Randonneuring provides good training for those ultra distance events. Did you just do your own self supported or supported double centuries to train for that or what?

Cheers,

Richard,

I’ve been big on zone 2 training for a couple years or more. Built up to the point I was doing 25 hour weeks on the bike every week. Then I slowly built in more power.

Did my first ultra, Hoodoo, last fall. Have done many hard 30 hour training weeks now, completed a free 24hour events and many long rides. Lots of fueling practice and gear refinement. 

Best,

Matthew
