Im interested in this.  What bikes are you fellows rolling?  My only real choice is the barron.  Do you think I will need my kiddie flag?
 
Where does the ride start?
 
Terry

I found the info in the Cue sheet.  The ride starts at 7:00am from Control Stop 1:
 
  Control #1 – Valero Corner Store
  1502 South Clark Rd, Duncanville, TX  
  Hours: Open 24hrs

The barron is 95% ready!  I just need to mount up the fastbacks and make certian I have my spare tubes etc...
 
Are we riding as a group?  Other wise I might try to roll out early to get a head srtart.

if you go to mapmyride.com and do a search for duncanville.  the file you want is the one that says "LSR 163K Populaire."
 
Terry, randonnuering is TECHNICALLY a solo ride, but most of us tend to ride together for safety reasons, and generally things split up further into a,b,c groups so people can ride and chat.  So long as there is a group that matches your speed, you'll have no problems getting around, but you also have to be prepared to ride alone if need be.  I've only ridden alone on one LSR ride out of the 10 or 12 I've done.

Greg that sounds like a good plan.  Ride at a "Recovery Pace".  Don’t worry about having to be among slow pokes all day… mid morning after our legs are and warmed up.   We will likely find a few spots where we have a gentle wind to our backs a slight down hill grade where we cant help it but put the hammer down and burn off some testosterone and get high on endorphins!  Its sort of like surfing.  When you see a nice wave you need to rise up on that surfboard and go!    
 
Im a known lollygagger. I will still plan on getting there early so that I can be on my bike ready to go.  
 
Sincerely
Terry
