In case my 2012 CAM participation fails for some reason....

#1 Jan 4 - 160km/100mile RUSA populaire
#2 Jan 7 - 200km/125 mile RUSA brevet (of note, involved in accident, rode last ~25 miles (incl bonus miles) in small front chainring (of a triple) after big front chainring was bent beyond using either it or the middle front chainring)
#3 Feb 8 - 100 miles same route as #1, originally planned as a "official" populaire, rescheduled, canx'd, then family events changed & the time became available again so I left late, took unusual (for me) stops at unusual times/places (even logged onto the Net during the ride at a couple stops) and finished way into the dark. Completed it in under 8 hours ride time - good for me, slow for so many,many others. Lesson - be flexible.
#4 Mar 25 - 125 miles. New Orleans to Baton Rouge roundtripper on LA 61/Airline Hwy, a route most people say to avoid due to traffic (which doesn't bother me on that particular route). Not my fastest overall time, rolling average was ~15mph, but I had to make multiple "recovery" stops as my left knee is still healing from being whacked in an attack with a baseball bat.
#'s 5, 6 & 7 Apr 25, 26 & 28 - 103-107 miles, each under 9 hours. I need to find some audiobooks or small portable radio for the boring stretches.
