... 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...
Thanks Frank, Not too hot in summer and not too cold in winter. Sounds nice! Your attachements must've been removed by the yahoogroups mail server. You can...
Yeah, I saw the attachments did not go through. I created a directory in the \General Climbing Inoforation\ called \Climb Profiles\. You can find two profiles...
... Were any of the roads washed out from the recent storms? One of my favorite rides is in the nearby San Gabriel Mountains, taking the Angeles Crest Highway...
... I am pretty sure at least one major road - along the east fork - in the San Gabes is still in serious trouble; Topanga Canyon was shut down for several...
Nigel, you're obviously dedicated! I too will be doing the early season hilly's and the odd 2-day but I'm struggling to get the training required due to work...
... None of my business really, but it looks like you need to invest in quality training and forget about quantity. Congratulations to the parents ... and to...
Hi Darren. Was going to point out an training event going up your favorite hill in the Lakes in May but have just learnt they've closed entries. Nige, you...
