If you look on the Peter White web site it shows the new Edelux and SON20R in anodized red. I do not know anything about the internal workings of these hubs...
Willie, Just call Peter and ask him. He's extremely knowledgeable and helpful. My guess is he will be concerned that it go back together properly and that by...
I'd like to know what the total elevation gain is on this ride, if possible broken down into total gain from SF to Hopland and total gain from Hopland to SF....
... Thanks for these tips. I thought smoking is illegal inside all business in California. Are Casinos exempt from this because they are considered to be on...
Zach, The Topo map we have on the website shows ~15K feet of elevation. Most of it on the first half, but it is not broken down in any way, just a total number...
I called but did not talk to peter. The gal mentioned that the warrantee might be voided but my first step is to see if it is possible. They have black and...
I did the Hopland 400k in 07. I recorded about 8700 ft. of climbing for the whole route. Someone can try putting the route on Bikely and then ask for the...
Hello, Suggestion of Bear Republic in Healdsburg is very tempting. However, examining cue sheet Rob has sent last Friday in the attachment called "400 km.xls",...
Kitty who doesn't have access to her computer now just phoned me to say the low elevation gain figure she gave for the Hopland 400 is incorrect. She had looked...
Going to the Bear Republic will take you off route. Where you turn left to go to Jimtown, you'd need to take a right and go a few miles to Healdsburg Ave....

I just took the route sheet and created a GPX track file and a Garmin course file for any Garmin GPS unit. While the GPX format is universal, the course file...
After the SC 300 km there was a discussion with Bill Bryant about how frequently STI derailleur cables fail and the need to carry a spare on a brevet. What I...
You ain't kiddin'. You do get better at extracting that cable end with practice. I have a lot of practice. I also have a newly set up brevet bike... with ...
I re-read my earlier reply to this and yes, I made a mistake saying you go through Healdsburg on the way back. That is not true. Here are some things to...

I am not going with the idea that STI/ERGO eats cables faster than another system - it's possible the rider shifts more with STI, and the cable wears 'more...
Oops I did get carried away too with the Bear republic idea. Yes we don't go trough Healdsburg on the way back but the bear republic as a stop sounded to good...

Here are most of my notes (graphic details deleted) from doing this ride on June 4-5, 2005. Many of you know, I'm a pretty average paced rider, perhaps...
Push through Ft. Bragg and plan for a sleep break in Cloverdale. This worked great for me for my first 600k (which was also my first ever brevet!) I was VERY...
I planned to do the SFR 600k in 2007 but wasn't able to because of a crash a couple of weeks before. Everyone that I talked to that slept at Ft. Bragg in 2007...
I certainly like this idea, but remember it is 76 miles of nighttime riding and some of it is pretty hilly, so your average speed is likely to be slower than...
Does anyone have a recommendation regarding tail lights during the fleche? We all agree to run them in staedy mode, but nevertheless, I find that the bright...
