Hello all Below is a note from Mary Florian about the Economy Inn and the July 4th 400k brevet that starts in Statesville, NC. Plans are to start from the...
Hey Guys, Just wanted to get everyones advise on seat choice. Probably the main reason that I DNFed on the 600k was due to saddle issues. My old seat had...
Jim I use a Terry Ti Race Liberator. I have done 4 1200k's and lots of shorter rides and have had no problems. I never could get that comfortable on a Brooks...
With the usual disclaimer that everyone's different, I'll second the vote for the Brooks B17. I'm a thin guy, so I orginally had difficulty with the idea of...

The "classic" Georgia 600K brevet remains one of my favorite routes. An out-and-back, encompassing climbs up Burnt Mountain and Fort Mountain, it remained the...
For me almost any seat that is fairly narrow in the front and has some padding in the rear works. I've been riding a $20 seat for years. Proper seat angle,...
I think Tony offered good advice. From my (limited) experience I suggest to ride your randonneur bike as often as you can, so your behind gets used to the...
Gator, I hope you are still doing the 1200? Have a great ride. Maybe a tad bit of this cooler weather will stick around for you. Are there any other Audax...
Registration is now open on the Audax Atlanta website. (Thanks Rodney!) Please preregister even if you are only just thinking about the event. There may be...
Their websie has a live data page up and running. Gator and Ian have cleared the first control. There are some other familiar names on the list of folks that...
Looks like Gator and Ian were successful on their 1200. This would be Gator's first 1200 - Congrats. Ian will be able to compare the event to a multitude of...

The Solstice 300 registration is open. See the following link and come on out. Hans Mixdorf is coming out of hibernation for this one and you don't want to...
Richard has some other overnight accommodation recommendations for this weekend as follows: There are less expensive motels in nearby Rockmart. The Holiday...
I thought I would pass this info along for those who do not know about this possible solution. While riding the recent Shenandoah 1200k I developed saddle...
So Gator, other than your arse issues - how did you do? Andy _____ From: garandon@yahoogroups.com [mailto:garandon@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of gatorcochran53...
Now try the Qoleum Hot Embrocation #2 on your legs when it's about 40-60 degrees out and wet. When I did BMB in 2000 I had terrible saddle sores also. I wish I...
No man, that's blasphemy. Lantiseptic is the one true path. [?] I'm working on my gritty expose of the Shenandoah 1200, but in the meantime I'll just say that...
lowered my seat about 3/8 of an inch Don't underestimate the "power" of lowering your saddle 3/8". Most cyclists try raising their saddles but rarely try...
I agree with Mike on this. Many, coming from a past racing background, will have their saddle relatively high, as generally recommended for max power. However,...
See attached from Gator and a link to the leader board. I have not really figured out the site so there is bound to be a better way of keeping track of things....
All, I spoke with with Phil and Troy about 3:45 and I'm relaying the following: Kevin is still on the bike, pedaling and moving forward to Tuba City, AZ. The...
I was on the phone with crew chief Gary Carter. Kevin has been having problems with nutrition, keeping down any food. Day one he threw up on the side of the...
