Riding the DC Randonneurs Flèche 2010

Two NC Randonneurs are mixing it up and hopping on the DC Randonneurs Flèche this weekend. Jerry and I are joining team captain Lynn K for the event, which got underway officially this morning.

Our team's name is "Team Nutz to DC," since we're starting in Emporia, Virginia, famous for the peanuts grown in the area and its "Great Peanut Tour" bicycle ride. Lynn elaborates on the team name: "slightly crazed people riding to DC.. The "z" is for zombie, and maybe there is an acronym in there somewhere." She's too modest to mention that both her and Jerry could be "nutz" for doing their second flèche of the year. They were teammates with Mike D for the NC Flèche a couple of weeks ago. Lynn captained that team, too.

Our team is launching Saturday morning at 6:30. RBA Bill Beck sent along the following roster and start times for the other teams. Good luck and safe riding to all of them.

I'll be posting as much as I can on Facebook. Wish us luck!
