The first big ride for the year is the Fleche - the famous 24-hour non-
stop randonneur team ride around Easter. We have a lovely course
around the Olympic Peninsula, where we reach the Pacific Ocean around
sunrise and then have breakfast at the historic Lake Quinault Lodge.
We finish by

Looking forward to seeing pictures and tales from everyone's rides!
I've got lots of fun plans for 2013:
Commuting to from Broomfield on a regular basis (13 miles one-way), then
catching the bus the rest of the way to Denver for work;
Anti-Epic Gravel Grinder in late-April;
Various Rocky
last summer was pretty busy with remodeling our new home in Carlsbad and
the birth of a new Grandson. I'm looking forward to doing more cycling
especially bike camping.
My goals are:
At least one week long bike camping tour
some overnight rides, hopefully mixed terrain too.
a few 200k
Hi I'm a almost a new Riv owner, sold my Cervelo R3 carbon bike so I could
purchase a A.A.H. It's been four months since I sold the bike and am
getting close to finally getting on my new Riv. My riding plans are to at
first try a commute to work which would be round trip 35 miles, perhaps do

My good friends, and riding partners are planning to ride the Natchez Trace
Trail in the spring. Followed by an early summer ride on the Katy Trail.
With any luck, Bobby will have something going on with the Riv Rally East

We have infinite room at the Midwest Riv Rally. It's gonna be based in
southern Minnesota, probably around Spring Valley. You all are in for a

If you need any logistical assistance for the Katy let me know. We live in
St Louis and would be happy to put you up for a night, let you leave cars

Yep, this last year was the lowest on record for me. Fewest rides and
shortest overall distance in a while. Oh well, all miles are good, all
horizons inspiring.
So, for me, it's just getting out more regularly and reconnecting with ride

back on my Homer for the first time since I lost the battle with a parked
car door and fractured my hip back in April. Complications that we need
not go into resulted in me still walking with a cane until Thanksgiving,
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Jim (and safe riding)...

My plan is to ride.
I relocated back to the Bay Area in June, and haven't ridden my mountain
bike once. I've ridden at lunch a number of times, but haven't reacquainted
myself with the Sonoma County roads at all. I kind of want a geared road
bike now...

Hoping to make the Riv Rally Midwest this year (although not on a Riv

It's usually harder for me to plan any bike events in the winter.

I'm going to do something new in 2013 - a long multi-night ride, my first
tour. I have a riding partner, and we're now working on a route for late
May, either down the coast to the south and back inland, or up through wine
country with a return on the north coast. Either way, heading southerly
Kelly, looks like you got a lot of good stuff planned for the coming year.
Last year I was super ambitious with lots of randonneruing related
plans--R-12, SR series, 1200k, Fleche--and multiple 3 day bike camping
trips. Things didn't pan out as planned. I did 200k, 300k and 600k brevets.
No
I hope to keep commuting by bike and do a couple metric centuries, the
Lord willing.
Maybe an English Century if I get the gumption.
Maybe this year I will look into learning how to do touring like Jim just
did, but on a much smaller scale.
