Anayone here ridden the Ötztaler Radmarathon? This year, the race was dominated by the Italians (places 1 to 6). The weather conditions were good. The winner,...
Hi Oege, I had noticed your 13th position and the fast times of all the leaders. Also noticed that Olivier Huts placed very well, 55th I believe. Many more...
Congratulations and compliments to Oege for an excellent result in such a difficult event. List members should be aware that Puglioli and a number of other top...
From looking at the time splits, it looks like Bert Dekker (3-times marmotte winner) tried a crazy solo(?) breakaway in Khutaï and was still in the lead at...
... times ... That's right. Dekker rode a solo of 180 km. He left the leading group at about 5 km on the first climb, the Kuhtai. Puglioli caught him on the...
Hi Oege I also participated in the Oetztaler. Even more I also went for the combination Alpenchallenge in Lenzerheide and the Oetztaler. Any idea why someone...
... I really don't know. "I had to try something" he told me at the finish (in Dutch :-)). I think it must have been an impulsive action from Dekker. He had...
Happy Friday. I am encouraging people to use the new BRBC Bulletin Board to post their rides and other bike-related items. If you have not seen it already,...
... Well, I have applied, but as you may know, the online registration was a disaster. The site was besieged with with more applicants than it could handle,...
I'm thinking of doing La Marmotte next year. I think the most I've done is three cols in one day on the Raid Pyreneen, which I completed this year. I'm a fit...
... some ... If a fit triathlete means a winning triathlete then you will do fine. If not, then do try to do a few long climbs between spring and summer. In...
Very difficult to compare Marmotte to specific climbs like tourmalet aubisque. It is probably good to know that in general Marmotte climbs are regular and do...
The Marmotte is not always on the 1st week-end of July. It was already as late as July 9 in 1983, 1988 and 1995. In 2000 it was held on July 1st, the earliest...
Is it possible no one has posted here since November? Or am I just not receiving e-mail from KOM anymore? Weather in Los Angeles, even in winter, is often...
We do need to get/keep this site going if at all possible. Dave, I will be in S Cal in two weeks and want to see if I can ride Fargo Street with my road bike...

Dave, I think you would be correct in saying that there has not been any posts on this list serve for a while. I was wondering if somehow I got "dropped" off...
Frank, ... Which day was that? Fred S. tells me you're the one who puts together a list of the event rides in the NC area. Is that correct? Is the Cashiers...
Hi Nate. I created a list of local/regional event rides and posted them with a few online groups here in western NC. The Cashiers ride is probably one of the...
We're all still here! I must have got in about... Hmmmm, 2.5 hours on an average workday, 5 days a week = 12.5 + at least 4 hours at the weekend = 16.5 * 4 =...
Well, Nigel, looks like you are ready for a quick start in 2005. As for myself,I have done 2 good training rides (2-3 hours) this year, plus maybe 5-6 1-hour...
Hi all, I was kinda wondering how we could go so long with no postings too. Good to hear you're all still out there. I'm one of the rare ones evidently who...
... Out the house 6:30 to 6:50 (mostly!), and in the office door at 8:50. After work, I'm just limited by weather, battery life (both real, electric battery...
Karol, Actually, I envy you and Francois the snow. I've managed to get out three times on x-c skis this year and am chomping at the bit for more. Yes, I know...
Here in Colorado we have had some good weather and it has been possible to get out quite a bit, though the descents can be sketchy with all of the sand and ...
Glad to know everyone's still here. I rode a fair amount last month and was spinning with my club once a week (I'm in the US now). I was feeling good,...
Karol, This part of the southeastern US (in the mountains) never gets too hot. I do not turn on my air conditioner all summer. In addition to that, one can...
