OK, I'm in for the full 200K. Sounds like a fun time! Only thing is, I'm not a camper so Rudy, if you could e-mail me your general location (rccardr@cox.net) I'll grab a room in a local hotel. Which I'd be happy to share with any other non-camper types. Dallas, please save me a spot in the Sprinter, but if the hotel thing means a lot of back and forth from Rudy's I'll just drive myself.
Pastor Bob, you should drive down for this and get away from the snow-ish stuff likely to be around in April. |

Actually this is exactly what I'm dealing with this year. I'm planning to ride the Detroit Randonneurs' 200K West Brevet at the end of April. The course is in the subs west of Detroit and NW of Ann Arbor. Normally these are not the most challenging lands, but this will still be Michigan winter. Wife says I need my head examined, but ...
I'm planning a lot of trainer training. |
OK count me in ( @photogravity ) but give me an out! Brought the Cycleops in the house yesterday. Now have to put a bike on it!

This is what you do in northern climes

^^ :roflmao: That seems perfectly reasonable to me.

These rules are too tough. I don't own a bike older'n me. They are getting older but apparently not fast enough because they never seem to catch up with me.
I do have a bike that is older'n I was when I bought it. Will that do? I've had the Centurion on the Cyclops for a few days now. Can I count that mileage towards the total? |

Counting the mileage on the trainer is questionable, but you'll need to clear that with rhm! You *really* need to come down and do this ride. You'll have a great time. |

You got it man. This is going to be fun... Perhaps if things aren't too hectic with the move to my new home we might even be able to ride before going to Jersey for this event! :)
@rhm if I know @jimmuller well enough, he'll bypass the coffee for a well crafted beer--- or a food substance banned from the house due to Sharon's allergies--- such as peanut butter fudge! :p @mountaindave, I so want to do this without dropping the $$$$! Do you know if they are riding on a packed trail (I'm thinking a groomed snow mobile trail) under the soft top? |

Staying in MD, closer to DC, or are you relocating somewhere far flung? The curious want to know! :innocent:

What I'm trying to say is: I'm going for a ride the weekend of the Eroica California (probably on the Saturday), and wouldn't it be fun if a bunch of other C&V people came and joined me riding their C&V bikes. Or, barring that, if other bunches of C&V people would get together the same weekend and do something similar. If my ride sounds like something you'd like to do, then maybe you should join us! If you'd rather fly to CA for that ride, I'm pretty sure it will be better attended, better organized, more expensive, and it will probably have better scenery. If you'd rather do something else entirely... well, that, too, has its advantages! |

One suggestion to consider (as long as its real easy for you) is to plan your route in a huge figure 8 with the mid point somewhere only a few miles from your house and our cars. Then those of us of lesser knee and thigh or those who have not fully recovered from the ravages of winter can just quietly slip off the back of the line, turn and jump over to the endpoint. We could then either pack the car and go or sit around under your tall trees telling ribald stories and making up FPE (flimsy but plausible excuses) about why we could not do the long haul. Thanks for tossing this out there. We need more C&V gatherings here in the mid-atlantic region. |

I can't make either ride... but if other like minded individuals are in (or close to) Wichita Ks and want to stage a mini c&v outing, possibly on dirt roads in the area, pm me. We could meet, ride, maybe take some snapshots, and then lie about our accomplishment on the forum.

I'll keep this in mind. Not sure my old legs will be ready by that date since I live in New England and not even thinking about hitting the road for another 7-8 weeks. But I need a shake down of my L'Eroica Tuscany bike I just built.
