That type of event would be fun. However, out here in The Realm of Lord Gates, we're a bit too snooty to roll about on such quaint but antiquated devices. And the knickers? I'm afraid not - it's Pearl Izumi or we don't go. :eek: :D

damn, I'm eastern european descent guess that leaves me out.

If the good Lord had intended humans to wear Spandex, most of us wouldn't look so bad in it.

no path racing? BAH.

(id be all over this if i was anywhere near minnesota. I <3 my english bike)

Was just getting excited about this until I saw it's in the very non-British venue of Minnesota. Oh well.

I have nothing against English bikes, but my mountain bikes are American and my road bikes are Austrian, Italian, and French.

For a Minnesota-based event, they should consider requiring Swedish bikes. :)

I just bought a 1969 Raleigh 3-speed specifically to ride in this event next spring. I can't wait. I'll make a pair of knickers over the winter and I'll be set.

Then don't participate. :p


Seriously though, I would very much like to be part of this event one day. Pity that I'm as far as one can get from Minnesota. I would very much like to ride my '51 Sports "C" Tourist in it.

I must agree with onetwentyeight though - I'd like to see a path race in this event too, perhaps a genuine English time-trial for the club-type bikes.

Take care,
