Hi, Carlos has uploaded the 2008 membership and brevet application forms to the club website. I should note that while some would have expected these to be...

OK, I have the new cross bike all up and running so now all I need is one of the famous All Terain rides. When is the next one? willy in pacifica...
Hi Folks- My riding pal David and I will be doing the SC Randonneurs Chualar Ramble (200k), starting at 0630h on Sunday, December 16th. We're not fast,...
I'm in the market for a new pair of cycling rain pants and I'm considering Rainlegs. Here's a question for anyone out there who uses them: does your butt get...
I have rainlegs and have used them in some pretty long rides in the rain (last year's 300km for example). Yes, your but will get wet if you sit on a wet...

Not really about Rain legs, which really don't interest me too much, but about the Showers Pass rain pants. Clearly, I'll perspire more in them, but I have...
... I found the website that has a photo of the new improved(?) version: http://rainmates.nl/Rainmates_bestellen.php?ln=en It appears you can order them direct...
The belt on this product is *really* long, or at least the model I got has a long belt. I think you are after the right length, more so than any other ...

... Right. I've got an older pair of Performance rain pants made from Entrant G2 fabric -- which is a breathable nylon fabric that's treated with some sort of...
... One thing I need during cold rides is good knee protection, if it is raining this is more important to me. That's where I see the rainlegs not working for...
... Not that I would want to sell Rainlegs (they have their downsides and annoyances, as Rob Hawks explained); but I have nevertheless been very happy with...
I commuted last year with the Showers Pass rainpants and will give them a mixed review. They are definately waterproof and built to last. But, they are also...
I used Rainlegs for most of PBP and they worked great. I also put a rain cover over my Brooks saddle and used SKS fenders. The best thing about them is that...
Bruce, I also used Showers Pass Rainpaints during PBP and found them too hot loose and noisey. However, I was thankful to have the SP pants during the SF 600k...
Just a note to let you know the status of signups for the 200 and 300km brevets and some other notes. As of yesterday, I had received about 33 signups for the...

Rob, Please pencil me in as a volunteer for your brevet. There is a slim chance I'll need to travel out of the country that weekend, but the powers-that-be...
Kevin and all, Thanks for offering to volunteer for the upcoming 200km. Of note to all is that Carlos has set up some club email addresses, and there is one...

Hello Everyone, I'm new to SF Randonneurs and this message group. I hope to ride and meet all of you this winter and spring. I'm about to order a Schmidt/Mavic...
Alex, You're likely to get a wide range of opinions on this subject, though a recent study by Bicycling Quarterly says that nearly half of the PBP riders in...
Hi Alex, I am also a newcomer. My daughter and I built a 48-spoke Schmidt/Dyad wheel about a year ago for our ridden-daily tandem. Our primary use is urban...
Welcome to the group Alex, My preference: I like LEDs as they are easier to move from one bike to another and I use them for commuting and mixed terrain...
... There's rumor of a Lumotec Inolight with a Cree XR-E LED (the most efficient LED you can buy) coming out in 2008. Unless you build your own, that is likely...
Joe, Light quality can for some be a matter of personal preference. For some reason, LED lights just don't light the road for me, and the incandescent mode is...

I'm helping a friend sell a 96/97 Lemond Chambery Road Bike. They are asking $500.00/obo. The bike is located in Alameda, CA. Maybe it's not the perfect...
... I've got decent night vision. The brightness of the two E6 lights was good enough, but I really disliked the narrow beam pattern. I felt like I was riding...
imho: -the first rule about safe and reliable is to double up! a helmet light is really worth it (only when it's on)! -halogen, such as the e6 is inefficient,...
... I think I've read that, to avoid the "riding in a tunnel" feeling, some folks run a Lumotec primary with an E6 secondary...the goal being that the wider...
