I’ve been off the bike for a LONG time, and need to cram in some big time bike mileage before June. Handily, I stumbled upon the BC Randonneurs website - which seems to be a pretty decent (if less than perfectly sane) goal-based cramming methodology.
Who wants to join me in some stupidity?
The Pemberton 300 (aka the granfondo is for pussies) Saturday May 01, 2010
300km from N Van to Pemberton and back.
(Yes, I realize that this goes down the very stretch of highway that I very recently described as sketchy, but if it can’t be done on a rando, when can it?)
Assuming I can log some halfway decent mileage between now and mid April, I think this is a pretty good goal. There’s also a 200k ride on April 17th (route TBA) that I might try to hit…

Who’s with me?
300K is a LONG day. Are you doing the Pacific Populaire 100K on April 4th? I did the Randonneurs 200K last year, thats a nice ride.
I’ll join you virtually. Been off all winter. Combo of bad back, several bad colds, and too much work. Have some ambitious goals this Summer for riding. Need to get rolling. Nicer weather is here in So. Ontario.

Yeah, 300k is definitely farther than I’ve ever ridden in a single shot. The plan is to it the 100k PP on the 4th, possibly the 200k on the 17th if I can make it work, and then see if I think I can handle a 300k shot up to Pemby & back. That’s not just long - it’s a hilly mofo as well (though thankfully it doesn’t include Mt Currie :p).
I’d wager that I can sucker A&P to join me, and Julian as well. Maybe itseazy if he isn’t busy kicking ass and taking names elsewhere. You interested?
