Congratulations to Kevin, Cathy, Chris and the other Augusta volunteers on a great ride and route! There were super cycling roads and vistas plus the weather...

It turned out to be a great day for riding on yesterday's 200k in Augusta. Though it was cold at the start, we ended up having a sunny day with mild wind and...

Hey Folks, Thanks for a great ride. And yes, this Florida Boy was cold. I'll see ya at the 300K....
A tip of my cap to all involved in sustaining the GARandon Brevet Series! Hey Garrett, multiple clincher flats are a great promotion for tubulars, no? M (Been...
Mark, I had heard that Mike and some MACC guys may be coming down to Florida for the ride. The nanimals are lying low and local. Hope you have a good one - I...

Because of a scheduling conflict the MACC posse and I are planning on riding the Bonifay 300km instead of Gainesville. Speaking of which, can anyone give me an...
Mark, Maybe we've been over this before but are tubulars "immune" to flats or just easier to change? Assuming the response is "only to pinch flats", do you...
Used to ride tubulars exclusively. Loved the smell of DuPont FasTak, the feel of dental floss sliding through casing when sewing. But I Never felt secure on ...

Mike, I rode a portion of the Bonifay route last summer. I'm pretty sure the road surface was *melted* to a smooth consistency. It should be cooler in March,...
If the route is the same as last year, expect smooth roads. The route is Florida flat in the southern section and becomes somewhat hilly as you go north but...
Yes, that's a real problem with tubbies. I would not recommend riding them for longer rides unless you ride with someone else that also is using them. Then...
TUFO makes great tubulars plus 1 product (gluing tape) that really makes changing tires easy and 1 product (tire sealant) that reduces and even fixes your...
Hello Mike I've used the regular TUFO tubulars, tape, etc. on some of my 500 mile ultra races, but not the tubular-clinchers. If the work as well as the other...
Not to be one to stop a good conversation, but I must admit (much to my shame) that the tire in question was in poor shape prior to the start and I was trying...
Sheldon's wife Harriet sent out mail this morning saying that Sheldon Brown died of a massive heart attack last night. Several Audax Atlanta riders met Sheldon...
I totally agree. There are still things that happen you seem to have almost no control over. Like Sat with 10 miles to go on the NC 200k my right pedal axle...
To each his own of course. Tubulars aren't any more immune to flats from nails and glass than a clincher. But they ride better (of course that again is only...
Mark and I discussed recently my decision of getting out of tubies - I bought a pair of clincher tires 14 months ago, replaced the tires, and until this week...
I find that a spare tube, patch kit and 4 inch tire boot (cut from a worn-out tire) sufficient for anything short of a long tour or randonnee. For those I add...
... Ditto. -- Jeff Bauer "All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and...
Really sorry to hear about Sheldon. I was with you at the shop in Boston that day, and of course I've read Sheldon's advice often over the years. I was...

Boy, that seems high to me. Maybe the winds on Jan. 1st kept me from realizing how hilly the course was. Still, I'd consider it a fast, big ring?course. Mike...
... I was also sorry to hear of his death. I spoke to him on the phone a few times and he was never shy about giving an opinion or advice. Unlike the kids who...
