Sooooooooo anyone planning on hitting Cleburn on March 7th for a 200, 300 or 400k? I only saw one reply over on LSR that indicated a recumbent might show.

I just sent the question into the LSR post on this but when I was looking up times I noticed
"In 2009, daylight time begins on March 8"
Which may in fact affect someone doing the 400k if they exceed 2am Sunday (I assume I would). Card time vrs DST (cell phones, GPS?)  and non DST times on watches, cyclocomputers, gas station wall clocks..  After riding for countless hours just one more bit of confusion perhaps..

EV ,Nelson,Peggy & I are the guilty ones.  [smiley=grin.gif] No might about it.  We'll ride(I think) [smiley=headbang.gif]. Now finishing off this beast is another matter [smiley=jawdrop.gif]

Mark - I'm 80% "yes" for doing the 200k.  I'd like to get a March 200k out of the way before we depart for Hell Week the following Friday.  That way I won't feel the need to do a Brevet durinig Heel Week and can enjoy each day's ride.

If I can keep riding I'll be able to squeeze off a 400 I think, but I haven't made up my mind.

As much as I want to ride with you guys, I'm thinking on just doing the 300.   I don't think I could recover enough to be worth anything on Monday.  400ks and higher will have to wait till summer.

Ah Greg it's only 64 more mile, come on out and play. Then you would only need a 600 k for a series.(SUPER RANDONNEUR).

I actually downgraded to the 300k route; time constraints for Sunday morning (I actually have to be awake Sunday AM).
