I switched to Crank Bros eggbeaters (various flavors) on most of my bikes
several years ago. Super easy in and out, lots of float, and unaffected by dirt

We tried to change money at a bank in France, and were told "This is a

rules are minutes per distance. What ever it adds up to. From the RUSA site:
*Article 9*
Overall time limits vary for each brevet according to the distance.

KM, 27:00 for 400 KM, 40:00 for 600 KM, and 75:00 for 1000 KM.
Out of curiosity, why 90 hours rather than an even 4 days?
