    Here are my two clubs' calendars:

    SRCC has some fall 200s this year which should be good.

    This is PERFECT. :-) It's two weeks before LEL, which would be excellent timing as a final big training weekend! Taper after that! :-) I did a 300/200 double three weeks before PBP in 2011 and loved it. Felt really strong and ready to tackle the big event.

    I just had a new permanent route approved (RUSA # 1873) and rode it yesterday. Super fun! I wanted to make something a little easier than my first perm, and this one features FIVE possible bakery stops right in the cue sheet (3 are controls, the other 2 are optional). Not for those on a diet....

    It's a good one! Any time you want.

    (There's actually a secret sixth bakery in there that I should really put on the cue sheet....)

    Awesome! Reminds me of the local WOMBATS (womens mountain bike and tea society).

    When's your fleche? Ours was this weekend - I actually bowed out due to illness. My husband stayed on the team and they had a great time and - this is a minor miracle - he is now talking about building up a brevet bike. I love the fleche.
