The bicycle is there, of course. Interestingly, the picture is a Rene
Herse! Now that is a nearly unimproveable gadget (despite decades of
"advancement" since its construction).

Searching about and I'm wondering about experiences with the 'Super C'

Yes, it is large, and I can carry all I'll need for a brevet series in
it and then some... but I also want to use it for a light tour and
some S24O riding across the lake in the ADKs. (and around town, etc.

It's over as of today
|
| |
My R-20 that is. 20 month brevet string broken in June. I did not get to ride at least a 200K. It was really hard those last few days not bolting off and riding a perm. But doctor's orders and all.... Oh well, guess I'll just have to let it go.

Advice on Stomach Distress
|
| |
I am hoping that the group can offer me some advice. I have been riding brevets for the last 4 years and have recently developed a stomach problem in hot weather. On my last 2 brevets, after about 150-170 miles I started feeling quite nauseated. On the Shenandoah 1200 this led to vomiting, dry heaves, and DNF at the 200 mile point. On a subsequent 600k, where the weather was not as extreme, I again started to feel sick after 150-170 miles. I was able to continue riding (with almost no food or water) until the sleep stop at mile 260. Unfortunately, the next morning I became sick after 5 miles (at the first small rise in the road) and again had to DNF. In both cases, I made it through the heat of the day but didn't recover even when it started to cool off. I only once had a similar problem in my previous rides, and on that occasion was able to recover and complete the ride. ... more »
