| OH MY! Looks like local rando 2015 is for the DIRT |
Here is the schedule for 2015 - it is the traditional start of our year and then a week of riding in March (keep in mind if you want to add rides, we can do so as RUSA rides, but not ACP rides):
Jan. 17 Rainbow 200
March 1 - 200 (Route submitted for approval)
March 2 - 200 & 300 (Route submitted for approval - rider will choose which distance at sign-up)
March 4 - 200 & 400 (Route submitted for approval - rider will choose which distance at sign-up)
March 6 - 200, 400 & 600 (Route submitted for approval - rider will choose which distance at sign-up)
Mmmmm... let me get this correct:
The earliest full registration date for PBP is June 6th, 2015. Riders can "pre-register" and all that stuff before but still have to have ridden a full SR series in the first half of the 2015 to fully qualify. OK, got it!
Q: So why the rush to do a SR Series the first week of March?
A: Maybe its the frigid March weather in the mtns. that will attract the riders.
A: Ahh, I got it. Some macho rando wants to do the 1500km in a week for practice.
A: The working cyclists can get an additional 10 days off in March.
A: PCH can get more riders for their logical spaced Spring SR Series.
A: SDrados can follow RBA John Ceceri's Adirondack Brevet Week this year which no rider finished!
A: Local randos can get burned out in a March week well before PBP and recover later.
A: Hey, I just want a nice local 2015 SR Spring Series, no PBP for me. WRONG! Go north young man (PCH).
A: It's close to my home in Old Town.
All I can comment on at present is "GO FIGURE"!
This presents a interesting challenge... ride 1500km in a week with no rest days.
Yet to be revealed are the additonal ACP Brevets for 2015. The majority of local randos aren't going to PBP and just want to do a local SR Series throughout the year. More on that later.
I don't know who the RBA's consel is, but obviously they're not your average rando cyclist!
Did I say DIRT FOR 2015?
