William, congrats on the brevet. Sounds like a good time. I know that route and have ridden variations of it multiple times. I hope someday to make it down there for a brevet with SFR. I hope you'll consider doing a full Super Randonneur series (200, 300, 400 and 600k). As hard as it can be I assure you it's, overall, a great experience.
My first brevet of the year will be the Birkie 200k in March. This will be my 4th time riding it. The first time I did it it rained for every single kilometer of the ride. The second time it rained for most of the ride. Last year it was gorgeous and I was able to finish in just under 8hrs. This year... who knows what the weather will do or how I'll choose to ride it. If my rando bike is finished and together I'll ride that but if not I may ride the QB. There's really only one climb so it's doable on the QB. If I ride the Hilsen I may opt to do it in platform pedals. I did a 200k last year like that and it wasn't so bad. We'll see. Anyway, congrats on the brevet William. I'm at work so I can't view the pictures but I'll check them out when I'm back home tonight. Thanks for posting your report and link to the pictures on the list. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
