SIR spring 300k
Posted on March 31st, 2010 by Robert
I won’t lie to you. I’m going to wimp out on this ride report a bit. I’ve been too busy this week and these things take time. The limited amount of pictures that I took will have to do the talking.
Know this though: I rode well. Mark Thomas was disappointed with my lack of vomiting the last couple of rides. I think he is going to have to get used to it. I’ve been feeling really good.
I’ve also mentioned in the past that a 300K was my benchmark for my new’ish saddle. I’m glad to say that the Regal has been good to me. It is a definite keeper for this here butt.
I plan on driving down to the Oregon Randonneurs’ 300K this weekend and am crossing my fingers that the weather is kind. I’m not really counting on it though. I’ve gotten too luck on my rides so far this year. I’m pretty overdue for a wet weather pounding.
P.S. Thanks to Gary for putting on an awesome “urban” ride. Special thanks for letting me eat almost 3 Tofu Bahn Mi’s throughout the day. I dare say that might be my future rando food. Watch out for the jalapeno!

Robert,
Glad to hear you had another vomitless ride. I think that’s a strategy that should work for you going forward. Sorry I missed you on the ride, I was busy clinging desparately to the back wheels of some guys who are way faster than me.

Looks like a great ride/route… I gotta get out to one of these big rides this summer.
See you (at some point) on the road!
Nice job on a puke-free finish! Very nice pix, too. (Reminds me that I need to get a real camera for these rides.)
Have fun at the ORR 300 this weekend.
Are you still planning on going to the 3 Capes 300K this weekend? Since it got postponed, I’m able to go, and I recognized your name on the list of riders. If so, I’ll keep an eye peeled for you.

Dylan – I am! I hope to see you out there.
