March 20, 2010 Frenchtown Practice Ride Event Descriptio

[jud]

Hello everybody:

For the eighth straight year, I will be leading a practice ride to help riders prepare for the Princeton 200k. This will leave from the parking lot of the Citgo gas station on Race Street & Route 12 in Frenchtown at 9 a.m. on Saturday March 20th. In the past several years we have had 20-30 people show up. I will be leading an A-B group. Laurent will lead a C group and Leroy will lead a D group. Cue sheets will be provided. Everybody can ride his/her own pace. This is the middle section of the actual 200k route. Roy and I scouted the route on March 6, 2010 and it looks like the roads are in good shape.

This is a great way to socialize with other local randonneurs and a good fitness test for the event three weeks later. Many local randonneurs have been introduced to brevets through this ride. It is as always a very scenic route and will include some challenging climbs (such as Adamic Hill Road). No need to pre-register. The event, unlike regular brevets, is free. Look forward to seeing many of you there. We will cancel only if the road conditions are dangerous due to ice or snow.
