The AV gang does a brevet

**jobob** · 03-04-2007, 10:56 PM

And, might I add, my brevet buddy, Ms. Trekhawk (aka the Supreme Sandbagger) did fabulously, finishing strong.

Hey Leslie, do you have any plans for the 31st?

What a super great ride!!! Great pictures, you guys. Jo I am sure your pics from the 300 will be great, too, so I (again) won't bother bringing a camera along. No pressure, though.

LOL - funnily enough I did feel better at the 200km mark than I did at the 100km mark. Hmm that could have something to do with the fact that I knew food, drink and getting off the bike were just around the corner.

You should do the 300kms mate, you were so strong on the 200kms you would have no problems with the extra miles/kms. I however will be the supreme Piker and watch from the sidelines.

It was a great day and so much fun that I wont discount doing more 200km rides in the future. Hee Hee better press the submit button on this post before my moment of insanity passes and I take this statement back.

Too late! You can't edit it away now.

Actually, I've emailed Bill Bryant, the RBA for Santa Cruz, about setting up some dates for the Moss Beach Ramble 200K permanent. It's pretty much the only 200K permanent in Northern CA, and I have this notion of going for the R-12 (which involves riding a 200K+ brevet or permanent each month for 12 consecutive months).

It's a nice route, I've done most of it on shorter rides in the past. Here's a map and here's a description.

I'm probably going to ride that permanent route on Saturday April 21st (or Sunday the 22nd), sometime in May, and Sunday June 16. Anyone else care to join me on any of those dates? I haven't finalized the dates with Bill yet.

June's a possibility. Let me know.

Did you send in your entry for the 300.....? I am sure you can do it. Heck, you have to do SOME ride where you need your lights, right??

I dont have any rides planned for May so that would be a good month for me. I also have not been to Santa Cruz so it would be a good chance to check out the scenery as well.
Let me know when you have a date for the May ride.

Yikes I cant believe Im signing up for more pain. Jo you are a really bad influence.

**Veronica** · 03-05-2007, 09:23 AM

I'll put those dates on my calendar. I only have two free weekends in May - the 12 and the 26.

But don't feel like you have to plan May around me.

V.

PS MP don't be mad at me - but I'm going to let Jo tow me through the 300 K. You're too fast for me, even with a tow.

Not remotely mad - just glad more folks are doing this ride!! Yay!

**Fredwina** · 03-05-2007, 09:44 AM

Great Job you all!
I think I've got the time off for both 300K and 400K(Boss is absent, but I contacted the guys I need to cover for me while i'm and they're Cool.).
Homey blasted by on the Cayucos 200K about two times, and i'm marginally faster than Jobob. I think I had a 15 avg). That is one of the depressing thing about the aout and backs

**slinkedog** · 03-05-2007, 09:27 AM

Great Job AV! I am in awe of your stamina and strength!!

April or May are possibilities. June, we're heading to Colorado for a Rocky Mountain High.

**SadieKate** · 03-05-2007, 10:15 AM

Fredwina, can you join us for one of the Moss Beach Rambles? Or are you doing the SLO Wildflower?

Hopefully, I'll have a brevet in for april, and I have to work both those fridays(i'm off every other), I can do 5/19, if you can stand riding with An Aluminum frame from Pennsylvania...(not sure IF I want to do the 600K. yet . I'm leaning toward doing the Southern Utah one in June.
