Re: [RBW] SFR Populaire Photos
Let me add this. Our leader here rode his FIXEDGEAR. I rode most of the road on my road, camping, towing my son, carbon, rando, fast, slow, hot, cold, rain, sun but have not done this route on fixedgear yet. SFR will host this again in Oct. but if anyone wants to ride all or most of the route (ie start from Mill Valley), let me know. I will do it on fixed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

If you are running a little behind schedule, I will wait for you at the finish control and make you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and hand you a cold drink as you roll up!

Re: [RBW] SFR Populaire Photos
I had to miss the Populaire in order to keep my R-12 going. I did a solo 200k Permanent, and I could have done with a little camaraderie (commiseration). The Permanent I tackled was called the Mt Hamilton Challenge, and it was indeed a challenge. I limped in at 13 hours 9 minutes, 27 minutes under the time limit, so I'm a finisher. 6 months into my R12! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] SFR Populaire Photos
Hi Anne. Yeah, it was fun to have all of these bikes on the roadway. There's a bakery in Point Reyes Station (Bovine Bakery) that, if you're not familiar with it, is quite the stop for weekend cyclists. It was great to see so many racked and sacked bikes there, lined up along with the Cervelos and aerobars and whatnot. It didn't stop one fella from asking me where my crew rode from, and when I said San Francisco, he was genuinely curious and asked me if our bikes were rental bikes. He noted the front bags and cue sheets. That's pretty good. On a previous ride through that area, another cyclist told me she thought it was neat that my friend and I rode out there on our commuter bikes :) Anyway, it was a load of fun, and my friends who were new to this kind of riding found it a real thrill, as did I.

Re: [RBW] SFR Populaire Photos
Hi Rene. Jim sums it up nicely. I'll chip in by saying that speed on the bike does not have to be great. But, speed while off the bike is critical. The saying we came up with in our post-mortem over beers was "every minute off the bike is a minute you may need to make up while on the bike." We did a pretty bad job of limiting our time while off the bike. Part of it was ignorance where folks didn't know how to gauge how long they were taking and that the clock is *always* running. Part of it was inexperience in riders never having ridden the route, having no idea how much distance was left to be covered at any given moment, and therefore not knowing when maybe they ought to push themselves. Finally, part of it was politeness in trying not to rush someone during stops and giving people a break at the top of climbs, etc. Throw in a few unexpected problems (losing riders three times in our case) and some expected issues (flats, including one in which the back up tube had a hole), and suddenly you realize, uh oh, we've got to move it! In hindsight, I should have talked over some details with the crew. Mostly, I should have let them know that when we stop, everyone is in charge of taking their own business and getting back on the bike, ready to roll, asap. Maybe I should have given a time limit to each stop. On the other hand, despite it all, we finished in time--maybe with a generous clock by the SFR folks ;) And, it was quite a memorable finish!

I keep following up on Jim's posts (sorry, Jim!). The populaire was a blast! A lot of Riv eye-candy, as well. It was good to see our Chief List Dude, as well as other contributors, like Ron Lau and Joe Bunik. Most of all, it was just plain fun, and my group even made it across the finish line with two minutes to spare. I highly recommend trying out the next one in October.

[RBW] SFR Populaire Photos
Got out yesterday on the San Francisco Randonneurs Populaire, a ~71 mile introduction to brevets which the club puts on a couple times a year. There was a pretty decent crowd, with a good percentage of folks who had not ever ridden a brevet before. After an intro and short talk by RBA Rob Hawks, we made our pledge and headed out onto the roads. Fine weather with enough headwind on the way home to keep things interesting. Ended up connecting with ride buddy JimG who rolled up just before the start and we covered almost every mile together. It was a great chance to catch up, see some list members and ogle the hardware.
