I have added an actual page (not PDF files) to the website where you can see the 3 different jersey colors and the text of the message Todd sent to this list....
Hello riders, SFR is holding a Fleche in early April. There are a few teams already formed, and others forming right now. Willy Nevin is forming a team and...

A century run under a time limit, that is not a race? Rando history is coming back around.... http://www.granfondosandiego.com/?page_id=9...
For those that like Boure clothing -- suggest periodically checking the Wade's World part of their website - you might find the odd item that matches your...
Nice write up. I added a link to it from the results page. Oh yes I also added my own write up link yesterday so there are two new links on that results page. ...
Regarding route sheets. I have continued this custom from my predecessor, Todd. One thing I keep in mind about this is that we provide the data ahead of time...

When the RBA's for Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Davis and SFR (me) got together last fall to hash out the schedule for 2009, we found it hardest to plan out the...

I just got a note from Bob Redmond, the RBA up in Santa Rosa. The start time for the 300km has been moved from 7am up to 6am. This is for the 300km brevet on...

Yes, let's waste as little paper as possible, even if only symbolic/exemplary. Santa Cruz 200km Report - I wasn't there but rumor has it that it was a dark and...
You might assume that given that Rob/Todd would send email out about the event in advance, but lots of brevets allow same-day registration and don't know who...
In BC, where I started Rando riding and where Bob currently rides, the organizers supply the route sheets. Our webmaster tries to have the route on the web...
... And of course our own SFR website has a google calendar. We display Our events and also brevet events for Santa Cruz Randonneurs , Santa Rosa Cycling Club...
Getting routesheets at the start had never occured to me either. From the first riding brevets in Davis I always figured I'd be damned if I was going to get...
After returning home from PBP in late August of 2007, I signed up for a blog with the intention of documenting my memories of PBP 2007 and more importantly, my...

My new On One Midge bars are very comfy at a range of 200k but I'd like to increase the padding for the longer brevets. Also, extra padding on the...
I tried various things, including double-wrapping the bars, wrapping them extra-thick (more overlap between turns when wrapping) and using some Specialized...
Alex, I put gel inserts under my bar tape on the top of the bars and hoods and I have found the bar tape lasts just as long. My current bar tape has been on at...
... I had the opposite experience with the Specialized BG gel/tape. I tightly taped the gel pads with electrical tape to keep them from moving around under the...
Alex, Yes, seconding Max about raising the bars... I believe (through experience and even some reading) hand pain = body's reaction to weight across the hands....
I did the gel under the handlebar tape, but that was only half the story. Going to 25C tires (and the lower tire pressure) seemed a more significant change. It...
