rbent Forum - LSR 100k Populaire, October 28th

robert.j rbent member Posts: 429	Re: LSR 100k Populaire, October 28th Reply #15 - Oct 23^rd, 2007, 8:20am Looks like I'm "go" for this Sunday. I usually go for a longer ride on Saturday mornings and a shorter ride before 11:30 church on Sundays. I'll just reverse that this week and attend our Saturday evening service, which I've never been to and need to see what it's like anyway. See everyone at Bike's Inc!

However, there's also a 200K Permanent out of Princeton on Saturday that might work better for me... Paul

He/they appear to specialize in Cycle Genius and Sun products, but are apparently also going to start carrying RANS.

I'll probably join in for the 100K, at least... We'll see how the Princeton 200K treats me on Saturday!

Robert - glad you are joining us.

Bud - let me know if Jerry responds about the roads.

Everyone - who is riding the 100k, and who is riding the 150k?

I am riding the 150k.

Steve/Peggy - did you submit your RUSA membership? Combining the 200k you just finished, this upcoming ride, and potential rides in November and December, you could come close to 1000k. You earn a nice year-end for riding 1000k, 2000k, 3000k, etc... I'll bring a few of my medals so you can see them. The R12, IMHO is the nicest medal. For $10, you can purchase a medal for last week's 200k. My best suggestion is to strive to achieve the coveted R12 award. To receive this award, you have to successfully finish at least one 200k for 12 consecutive months. It can be either a Brevet or Permanent.

Jerry replied and said he hadn't ridden the route (it's Rick Wilson's) but knew about the gravel. What else was he going to say? It's too late to change the route.

I'm game for whatever distance. It sounds like we have one doing the 150k and one doing the 100k so far. What distance were you planning on, Steve? Greg, are you coming out to ride your favorite gravel?

The gravel patches are all 100 yards or less, and contained within a three mile stretch. The rest of the route should be fine.

Bud/Greg,I'll ride whatever distances you guys want to ride. It really doesn't matter to me. I'm not sure Peggy is going to be able to join us(that work thing). It doesn't sound like the road conditions are going to be much different between the 100K or the 150K.

Ray,Yes, we joined RUSA on Saturday(after the ride). Dan was going to submit our application & ride info. I wouldn't mind the R12 award. Thanks for asking about the asking.

There is a choice of 100k or 150k on Sun. Here are the maps on Bikely.com

100 km Pop

Well, it looks like the 100K and 150K stay together on the same route until Venus, which is the turnaround for the 100K. At least we'll have an opportunity to ride together for a while, no matter which distance is being done!!

I'll ride it with you Greg. So Bud's breakin' out the Nimbus, that means the road conditions must be really bad.
