Of course the young fellow doesn't mention if he had lights. I'd bet not. …hopefully the parents weren't informed that the root cause for this mis-adventure was Mr. Acosta's 'Venturing' influence? I'm certain your ride on Saturday won't be a mis-adventure. Does your camera work in the rain? Cause we'll want 'pictures to prove it happened'. -JimD On Mar 29, 2012, at 9:04 PM, Manuel Acosta wrote: I'm still trying to egg one of my students into doing this.

I'm going to spend the evening fashioning a mounting plate for my old GoPro. It's submersible, but I've never actually mounted it to a bike.

[RBW] SF Randonneurs Populaire this Saturday
Having been inspired by many people on the forum to ride a Randonneur event, I'm planning to ride the populaire this Saturday. Anyone else going? Any advice for someone who hasn't ridden a Randonneur event before? I'm still kinda worried about the control cards and what not. More importantly what do I wear? Hopefully I can tag along with someone who knows what their doing. -Manny What sport am I doing again?

Re: [RBW] SF Randonneurs Populaire this Saturday
Hi Manny. If you are used to doing 40-mile-plus-type rides, then you have nothing to worry about. Just wear what you normally wear and ride like you normally ride. Eat what you normally eat. To add on to Esteban's advice, also bring a plastic sandwich bag to hold your brevet card, receipts, and the pen. It keeps them together and it'll help with the forecasted rains :) Have fun!

Re: [RBW] SF Randonneurs Populaire this Saturday
Manny, As I read the weather forecast I'd say Splats and fenders may be in order. Have fun. Have you dragooned any of your students into this? ;) JimD On Mar 29, 2012, at 12:10 PM, Manuel Acosta wrote: Having been inspired by many people on the forum to ride a Randonneur event, I'm planning to ride the populaire this Saturday.
