The ride's out of duncanville and is listed as a 150k, but is in fact slightly longer, being 101.5 miles I believe.  You do not have to be a member to go on the ride.  I like the toue - goes through duncanville, cedar hill, and maypearl.  I should be there afaik.

Hey Bud, how long do you suppose it take toride that course??

Yup - that's about right.  Once it gets screaming hot like now, I like to take a little time to cool off before the next control.  Keeps me from killing myself.

If I have any legs left after my team training ride on Saturday, I'll try to make this on the Bacchetta.

This is a ride from Duncanville to Covington and back. Riders are given a cue sheet to follow. These populaires are to let new riders try the randonneuring style of riding, but with a shorter distance, and there are usually experienced randonneurs riding with new riders to make sure they don't get lost, and complete the route, but in real randonneuring brevets, you may or may not stay with a group, and you are responsible for following the cue sheet. This ride's cue sheet can be seen here. You can find out more about randonneuring in general at the RUSA website.

obviously Ray is ducking the x-treme!

I'm confirmed!

Peggy & I will be there.

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
 

Terry

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.
 
Terry

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
