RUSA Prez Lois Springsteen just sent me the 2008 Results booklet for Audax Club Parisien. I found three familiar Tar Heel names -- Branson, Paul and Cyndi --...
That is impressive! Congratulations to the three of you. Regards, Chuck Lathe Franklinville...

Looks like I'll be heading out for the Salisbury 200 this weekend. I'm planning to drive out on Friday evening after work and get a hotel in Salisbury. If...
Doubly impressive is that it's Cindy's second R-5000. And that Branson and Paul satisfied most the requirements for the award in their first year in the sport....
Thank you all for your kind words, and I want to congratulate my friends Cyndy (x2- wow!) and Paul, too. I'd like to point out that our club and its leaders...
Wondering if there are any riders interested in riding in audax style? In particular would like to have a group that rides a pace line at a controlled average...
Is this only done in paceline? I like the average, but haven't much use for sustained drafting. Side by side will do. Mike ... -- Michael E. Ross ArcAngle...
Traditionally Audax style refers to a regimented double paceline with a road leader/captain who regulates tempo and avarage. It is a team. The Fleche is an off...
saw several audax groups at pbp. an italian group run by a fairly large woman who barked orders. she kind of scared me in a good way. it is very cool to...
I am just too much of a scenery watcher I guess. That doesn't go well with pacelining. Also, my body keep shinting me back to bent riding and that is not so...
I think that some of this is done regularly, but it is just not done officially per say. I have seen many times when different riders have stayed together for...
the Smokin Tuna's team here in Charlotte ride all the way from Charlotte to North Myrtle Beach twice a year this way. It's a great way to keep everyone...
Tony, You are right about working together and thinking your way out of doing something. I agree totally. A paceline for a mixed crew can work if it is not...
Audax style riding does not mean that the pace of the group can not be above X mph, but is usually regulated by the pace of the slowest rider in the group. On...
After spending 13 hours with Gary, clenching my teeth and wrenching my gut to grinding thru Tony's latest 200K, I reached this conclusion: When I can average...
... Yeah, I have that affect on people. Tony, that was a real nice 219K. Really appreciated the tailwind from Mt Gilead to Locust. Good thing Rob and I...
The forecast for next 2 weeks looks reasonable, so if anyone wants to pre-ride the Feb 21st Harrisburg 300k, please let me know so I get your paperwork to you....
Thanks for a good route, good company, and good weather, Tony! I need to discuss one quick bit of unpleasantness: Should any of us call the Oakboro Police...
Vance & all, I haven't reported anything to the police in Oakboro yet. I don't know that it'll do much good -- wish we'd gotten their plate number -- though I...
They made several runs at us -- including throwing some unidentified object at me (they missed). Wish we could have gotten their tag number, but it's generally...
I couldn't agree more that it was beautiful day and a wonderful ride with a great bunch of folk, and I choose to dwell on these positive elements. This said, I...
Tony, An older GMC, probably mid 80's. The truck was raised a little too. With a flag like that on top I can't believe this vehicle is not "well known" in the...
Thankfully it wasn't more serious. I'll get faster as time goes on but I'll always be willing to drop back and escort a lone rider. Especially the lovely...
I hope I'm not too far off topic, Tony. We bought a new car on Monday and the roof rack that fit our '97 Honda Civic coupe doesn't fit the new car. It is for...
