Southwest Missouri Randonneuring

News

Cliff Jacobs, a PBP veteran, and I will be making a presentation on randonneuring at the monthly Springbike Bicycle Club meeting on January 12. The meeting is at Primas Mexican Grill in Chesterfield Village and starts at 7:00PM. In addition to general information about randonneuring, I will have sample maps, que sheets and brevet cards for the 200K and 300K brevets that will be held in Springfield in late March and mid-April. Cliff will talk about his experiences at PBP and will show slides. I will also talk about the Fleche team I am organizing for a 24-hour ride on Easter weekend. You must be a member of Randonneurs USA to participate in the Fleche. Hope to see you at the meeting.

Spencer Klaassen was the first to ride the To Err is Humansville 205K Permanent on November 28. He enclosed the following note when he sent in his card for validation: A challenging & pretty ride. Very low traffic. I am glad to have 28mm tires as the chip seal was pretty rough. Lots of dogs & a pissed off rooster.

It appears the Southwest Missouri brevets will be run through the St. Louis region for 2009. The tentative schedule for the 200K brevet is on March 29, 2009 and the 300K on April 18, 2009. Both brevets will start in Springfield.
