I'm at "R-8" of the R-12, and will be doing a monthly 200k permanent from Sept-Dec to finish it off. My next 200k will be Willy Nevin's Jittery Jaunt, which...

Most if not all of you know that it is my intention to succeed Todd Teachout as the RBA for SFR. I'm just dropping a note to this list and asking you to spread...
Hi all, Here are my pictures from PBP. Quite a few are of SFR, RUSA, and NorCal riders at the finish line around the 85-to-90 hour mark. Some of the riders I...

Just to let you know, I received word yesterday that the RUSA board has approved my application as RBA for SFR. As you may know, first year RBAs are allowed to...
Hi All, As some of you know I been putting together a route for a mixed terrain brevet event, a route that covers both paved and dirt/fire roads. I have two...
We can't make Kitty's dates, but me and Santa Cruz Philip are intending to be "in line at Safeway" at 7:30am Saturday, 9/22 for the "Jittery Jaunt." Join us...
mixed terrain...my two cents. 1) the rutita = carlos route to lake lagunitas + alpine dam road route to tam parking lot, then down at rider's (or group's )...
My vote would be for Route Two, held on the 29th. I think it'd be best to do it on an informal basis the first time -- no RUSA sanction or points necessary. If...
Good idea Carlos. Take my answers as those from a newbie that is simply interested in randoneeuring. ... Sure, why not. What's the water situation like on the...
Hi, I've done the first route a number of times by myself and once with another person. Its a great ride, a bit short for a "serious" brevet event, but it...

The RUSA deadline for listing events is the end of this month. FOR 2008! I think there is little chance that this event can be RUSA sanctioned if it is held...
... 22nd is better for me, only because the Fairfax CX race is on the 29th. ... Absolutely. They are a blast and a great way to ride. ... Both sound good. I'm...
... My understanding was that the end of this month deadline applied to APC events only. I thought domestically-sanctioned RUSA events were easier to schedule,...
I was going to reply to each message individually (on the list) but replying to my own original message is easier. I still would like to hear from more SFR...
I'll add my vote for both the 100k and longer routes. I did the 100k 2 years ago as my first mixed terrain (MT) ride (the year it was proposed as a Populaire...
... The North Bay has an incredible variety of trails and roads, and stitching them together in that manner is pretty glorious. I would think that the shorter...
... That's exactly the route that I led a group of 650B riders on a couple of months ago -- a few who were new to MT riding. It worked out quite well. -Jim G ...
I love doing all this, the exploration of new routes, paved or not, is half of the fun. I think the idea of having mixed terrain "clinics" is excellent. The ...
Rob, I've lead GPC Club rides through Mt. Tam, Muir Woods and to the Lighthouse. At what point is a permit needed for an organization and for what type of...

The traditional SFR 200km brevet route has a staffed control in the parking lot near the lighthouse. I suspect it is because of that staffed control that SFR's...
I agree, it seems we can have two nice riders with good turnout if we do the short version Sept. 22nd and the long one the first (6th) or second weekend (13th)...
Where you have an aid station or something that goes out into the roadway (parking lot would probably count), you might need a permit. Look up Woodside and...
Rob, I may be able to help with pointing you in the right direction as far as liability insurance and tax status as I have set up a couple other bike/tri clubs...
