Hi everyone, it's time to make plans for February brevets hosted by West Texas Randonneurs. All riders are welcome ... mark your calendar for Feb-17 as follows:
200K and 300K RUSA Brevets
Choose between two routes. Both stay together from Midland-Kermit where the 200 turns back and the 300 continues to Monahans.
Date: Saturday, Feb 17
Time: 07:30 wheels up
Start: Thomason Stripes, park in rear
Night Gear: Reflective vest, ankle bands and lighting required for 300K. Optional (but recommended) for 200k.
SIGN-UP SHEET: https://tinyurl.com/RUSA-200-300K
SAFETY: Please read the safety notice located on the Sign-Up sheet. Hwy-302 is busy with oilfield crews, wide loads and heavy traffic. The shoulder is nice and wide but mirrors, bright clothing, and good "defensive" skills are recommended, especially in the passing zones where the shoulder converts into a lane. We have three passing zones, two miles each, and taking about 10 minutes to clear on bicycle.
Randonneuring events are intended to be group rides. It's fine if a fast bunch breaks away, but rando groups usually keep 3 or more riders together. We share stories and enjoy a relaxed ride. To make cutoff times the minimum pace is 9 mph (stops included), but the main pack averages 12-15 mph. Let me know if any questions ... everyone is welcome.
By The Way ... RUSA members who complete either ride will earn a nice medal. See attached PDF if you need to renew or want to join.
