Cool!  I wasn't thinking "country race" as much as vintage/classic.  Pre
1970's bikes and kit sort of a thing like L'Eroica.

I do like those country races though.  The Rouge Robaix looks really great!

There is the D2R2 in New England.

http://www.franklinlandtrust.org/randonee.htm

Also, as mentioned, Transiowa. Last year Rapha did their "Gentlemen's
Race" which took in some dirt roads. I'm sure there'll be more events
like this in the future. But there still isn't a pro dirt road road
race. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

I was just discussing earlier on flickr how there is no comparable event
here in the States.  The closest we have is the Lake Pepin 3 speed tour.
Would be great to have some events like this, but the folks that would
support it/participate are too spread out geographically for one thing.
That and a lack of bike culture/appreciation of racing prior to any event
not won by someone named Lance.

2009-03-06 Thread Kevin Lippert

I ordered an almost identical bag from Weltrad in Germany (www.weltrad.de 
) for about 40 Euros, including shipping. I had a German friend here  
help me with the ordering (site in German only) and payment part  
(using bank transfer, I don't think they accept credit cards), but the  
bag has held up well for several years now, looks good, and, made  
primarily of vinyl, is less than half the cost of the fancier  
billykirk leather model. Weltrad also has a nice selection of lights  
and other accessories for those of us who can't leave well enough alone.

Hope this helps,

This race is different than the one I initially posted about which is
a "pro" race with some of the big guns. The Eroica, if I understand,
is more of an event where folks ride the course on retro bikes. I
think both events are interesting.

I do remember seeing a thing a few years back about how some of the
Pro Tour riders were using standard reach calipers for Paris Roubaix
to allow for bigger tires (25s!) and some mud clearance.

And when I lived in SF I remember doing a few of the Grasshopper
"races" that Soulcraft puts on which took in some dirt roads.

[RBW] Tires: good 650A (37-590 / 26 x 1-3/8) tires with tan/gum/white sidewalls?

2009-03-06 Thread Darren Stone

First post.  Hi all.

- Schwalbe Delta Cruiser.  Schwalbe's "least" flat resistance and
tread looks meh.
- Panaracer Col De La Vie.  LBS suggests may be more likely to flat
than Marathons.  I hate flats.
- Michelin World Tour.  Have only see web pics.  Available with a tan
sidewall.
- Others?

So my default choice is a set (recommended by my LBS) of Schwalbe
Marathons (Marathon HS 368).  Not too heavy.  KevlarGuard flat-
resistant tech.  Designed for 50-85 PSI.  Perfectly functional.  Just
can't get excited about the black walls and reflective stripe, that's
all.

BTW, it's for a Saluki.  My riding is long and far, mostly pavement,
but loose surfaces when they present themselves...

Thanks for any thoughts.

-Darren.

And all they're really doing is re-creating road racing as it was years
ago.

I should have added this quote from the article:

"It's 'renegade,'" said Hesjedal to sum up the race in one word.
"Because it's road bikes racing off-road."
