Long Distance Girls....

So am I supposed to twirl around a lamppost while on my bike?

[SadieKate]

Otay. I can try the video on my new camera and we can make a movie and set it to music and put it on youtube and everthing.

Here's Kent Peterson's take on the recent Seattle 300K. I really enjoy his reports.

I have no plan.

Well actually...

3/31 Solvang Double
4/28 DaMneD - my new name for it!
5/12 Central Coast Double
5/19 Davis Double
6/23 Grand Tour Double
8/5 Mount Tam Double
9/29 - 9/30 Waves to Wine

If DMD goes well I may switch the Grand Tour for Terrible Two.

I was thinking about doing the SF brevet series,up to the 400. The 600 is too close to DMD. But I'm not digging the cold right now. So I'm dragging my heels on sending in a replacement check. Gotta decide this weekend.

Santa Rosa would be fun, since my buds are there. But the 300 conflicts with Solvang and the 400 with DMD.

We're breaking into this broadcast with a spazz-o-stoopid question:

What's a brevet?

What's a permanent (other than a hair process and something many relationships aren't )?

I DO understand this thread is about long... REALLY long rides, but after reading the whole thing I'm still stooopid-spazz.



P.S. Congrats to all y'all doing this crazy stuff.

MP and I are enjoying a nice Fetzer Gewurtz before I start the pre-ride carboload pasta dinner. Baked ziti with Black Forest ham and sundried tomatoes. Grilled aspergrass on the side. Edamame hors duvers.

Major ****inson coffee so she'll ride like Lance.

[Veronica]

She cannot ride like Lance! She'll get to the rendezvous too early!

[snapdragen]

Maybe she could ride like Lance on a bad day?

[spazzdog]

Thank you muchly Madam SadieKate!! Very interesting indeed...

Did not see "permanent" defined though... little help here, you fine little iron butts you

spazz - who likes her rides like she liked her runs... short and FAST!

[snapdragen]

You didn't look far enough:

A Permanent is like a brevet but you can ride it any time, not just on one specific date. Like brevets, routes can start and finish in the same location, but they can also run point-to-point, and can be any distance of 200km+ (100-199km for a Permanent Populaire). Permanents are open to any RUSA member. They can be ridden alone or with a group.

SK, give MP my very best wishes for a safe and warm (if not dry ) day tomorrow !

Fetzer Gewurtz, yummers. You do know how to treat your friends right.

Spazz, keep looking around the RUSA site, they describe permanents in there. You're a smart girl, I know you can find it.

[jobob]

V and I are doing a permanent next weekend.
