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
and mud.

My take on shoes - though I've only done 200s and one 300k so far. I don't
have the world of experience some on this list possess, like Lynne, Steve,
Mike, Eric, and many others. I like clipless for some situations, for

@ Iron Rider - good point :) I actually thought I was replying to Larry
Powers' message. I was mostly just interested in what RBW randonneuring
people like to run as pedals/shoes and tires, but probably better asked
either on a different thread or on the Randon List. We're going through a

You post a lot of questions here but I'm not sure to whom they are
directed? Me? The Olsen bros? The list? Perhaps a new thread might be a

Would be interested to know what width tires/wheel size and pedals you
prefer? I have a canti LongLow made brevet ready and on 32mm actual
Kojaks. I could go to an actual 37mm with fenders, I think, with some
creativity. I have flat pedals on the bike and SPDs/mountain bike shoes in

The simple answer is that if it was 96 hours anyone could do it.
I think there is a a minimum speed you are expected to ride plus a minimum
number hours of sleep you are allotted and this adds up to 90 hours.
I have completed two 1200k Randonnees on my Rambouillet, BMB 2006 and PBP 2007.

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

Ask the French. They wrote the rules, and like so much of life in France, it
doesn't make logical sense. (Want stamps? Find a Tobacconist!)

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.
These are: (in hours and minutes, HH:MM) 13:30 for 200 KM, 20:00 for 300
KM, 27:00 for 400 KM, 40:00 for 600 KM, and 75:00 for 1000 KM.
