Our own Mike Dayton is one of four candidates for the RUSA board. Vote here or by mail (you get to pick two).

RUSA is also seeking a new design for their PBP 2007 Jersey, if you've got that kind of talent, submit a design by e-mail to Jennifer Wise.

Several NCBC randonneurs are talking about also doing the Gainesville Florida brevets in 2007 (Jan-Apr)—send me an email if you'd like to join in.

QUADZILLA - Get Over It!!

The late fee deadline has been extended to "Postmarked on July 14th" so register today. Go to the website right now, click on the Active link or print out the registration form and then please email me that you are coming.

I have to release the Friday night rooms in Ithaca so call the Meadow Court motel right away to hold a room for you, 800-852-4014. There are other motels nearby but they are more expensive. The sleep stop rooms are already reserved.

This is the event to test your resolve for BMB! Become a part of one of the world's toughest ultra cycling events!

Just a reminder that QuadZilla is a part of the John Marino Challenge. What a way to rack up 3 Points!

We have three women attempting the QuadZilla course this year and we'd like to extend an invitation to other females to give it a shot.

Visit the website for all the details and the registration form.

Sandy Whittlesey's and Don Podolski's Deerfield Dirt Road Randonnee (D2R2)—in its 2nd year—is now open for registration via BikeReg.com. Here's the link from Don's LBS website describing the ride and linking to the bikereg.com registration page as well as other helpful information.

This is the century with more than 11k feet of climbing on centuries-old unpaved roads through fields and woods in the Berkshires in MA and VT. There are 2 distances to choose from: 170k starting at 6am, and 100k starting at 8am, on Saturday Aug 26.

See you there!

The Deerfield Dirt Road Randonnee/D2R2 registration site is active. Don't miss this spectacular ride, Aug. 26. Registration is limited. Pre-Reg only.

50 years ago most roads in the USA were dirt, the D2R2 will take you back in time with a challenging ride and some of the finest scenery of any brevet. 100K and 170K routes on this RUSA Populaire.
