Cyclists <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclists> - who, in this discipline, may be referred to as randonneurs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randonneur> - follow a designated but unmarked route (usually 200km to 1400km), passing through check-point controls, and must complete the course within specified time limits. These limits, while challenging, still allow the ride to be completed at a comfortable pace - there is no requirement to cycle at racing speeds or employ road bicycle racing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_bicycle_racing> strategies. the link jon posted was interesting also: http://www.bicycleforlife.org/rusa/lumberton-feb2010.html hope the weather is nice for this weekend <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brevet_(cycling)> On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 8:14 AM, Jim Davis <[email protected]> wrote: Who is riding in town on Sat, weather permitting?
