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.
May 3-5. Ours is usually later due to the colder weather. The later in the year, the better. Although, we did just have a stunningly beautiful and WARM weekend.

I've never done a fleche. Looking forward to it! Any words of advice? I should point out that we do not plan to be overachievers. We are going for the flattest route between two points, the minimum distance, and lots of tasty food along the way... ;-)
