Training Begins, Bring on the Doubles

[Starfish]

Where is it said they require fenders?

I have to admit, I cannot put my finger on where I saw that. It would bear checking with the folks who know.

It seems to me that I have read that participation in **** (whatever rand. association ride I was looking at, and for all I know there are many, and they all have different rules?) requires fenders if it rains.

It might be that the one thing I saw that one time lodged in my mind and has dissuaded me ever since.

If I run across what I saw or am thinking of, I'll let you know. Maybe it was the Canadian 200K I was looking at last year? There is one in Nelson BC I was interested in.

ETA: I found this blurb on the listings for many of their 2007 rides. Perhaps the "Required" part was something I picked up while looking at a ride with a different association? For awhile there, I was looking a lot at the BC association's site. Anyhow, here is the blurb: As a courtesy to other riders, fenders (with 1/4 coverage front wheel and 1/2 coverage rear wheel) are a must or you'll face the scorn and abuse of your fellow randonneurs. Additional rear splashguards are recommended for group riding.
