Fellow Randonneurs, My shoes have seen better days, and as I prep for the season's upcoming rides I turn to the community for some shoe advice. I've seen a...
I've had good luck with Shimano sandals, wearing them for all my ultra rides (1200K's, FC 508, RAAM, HOS, etc.). They're also great commuter shoes, though...
I've been wearing the 2 strap Lake sandals for a couple of years now and I love them. There easy to ride in and easy to walk in. This last weekends 200K in...
Hi Rodney, I have a pair of Exustar sandals. Nashbar also sells them under their house brand. http://www.exustar.com/ss220.php They are inexpensive and have...
I too, have been using the Shimano sandals since 2003. Except for temps below 40F, they are the only cycling footwear I ever use. Great for randonneuring,...

You'll like riding with this group. My first brevet was a little over 2 years ago. Last year I rode a whole series with an extra 30ok thrown in for fun. Trust...

Richard - I've often thought of organizing the same ride as soon as the trail was finished. It's finished now, so it's a good time. My thoughts were to make it...
We had a group [from Huntsville] do this as a weekend tour last year, except that went the opposite direction (Anniston-Atlanta-Anniston). They spent the...
That trail is FLAT, thus a 20km/h average should not be a big problem, or should be similar to ride a hilly course at 15km/h. uwe ... From: Davy Haynes To:...
