Great weather, great rides! 25 riders started out Saturday morning, 19 on the 600k, four for the 400k and one rider each on the 300k and 200k. 24 riders successfully completed their brevets, the only rider not to finish still rode 200 miles, for a grand total of 8,700 miles logged for the group.

Riding PBP is not for the faint of heart. However, it is meant as an event that an average cyclist can complete. Difficult, but certainly doable. Do the math yourself. Averaging only 10 miles per hour you would complete the event in 75 hours. Finishing near the 90 time limit would mean you averaged a little better than 8 miles an hour.
I know from watching many of you ride and complete the brevets that you all ride faster then this. A key to completing PBP will be to be efficient. Lost time is lost time. That’s why I ride the brevets like I intend to ride PBP. (more…)

The western sky was threatening and the weather map suddenly looked pretty bleak at the start of the Rochester 200/300/400k ride. A line of severe thunderstorms was poised to strike the Rochester/Chatfield area not long after the start of the ride. Fortunately, the front turned north and it turned out to be the nicest day of the year, with temps in the low 90s some high clouds and a mild breeze to keep things from getting too warm. The warm weather definitely was appreciated, but the pace slowed noticeably by mid afternoon for most riders as we are still thinning out our winter blood. (more…)
