"Jon Bendtsen" wrote in message Try Randonneuring? "Randonneuring is long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie, not competition, is the hallmark of randonneuring." You do talk miles, so you might be from USA http://www.rusa.org/ I like the concept. The whole "sag wagon" deal is just wrong. You wouldn't go hiking with an SUV following you. I once tried to combine cycling and hiking on a tour I was doing in the American West. My God, it just did not work at all! These two activities are the opposite of one another and if you try to combine them, all they do is clash. Hiking is for going slow and contemplating nature. Cycling is for going somewhat fast and staying focused on traffic and other road hazards. Sometimes I think the only enjoyable part of cycle touring is when you are stopped and spending some time viewing your surroundings. Doing a supported bike tour is the only way to go if you truly enjoy cycling. The sags are in the rear and unobtrusive and you only use them if you need them. A hundred and one things can go wrong on a bike tour, and having some backup is an excellent idea. Concepts be damned ... it is all about reality! I like the idea of riding alone and relying on no one, or at least the illusion of doing so. I liked the idea of it too until I actually did it. No matter how well you plan it, things start to go wrong almost from the beginning. The weather alone can be a major hassle. You can ride alone on a supported group tour if you want. No one will bother you. It is damn nice to not have to look for a campsite and have to cook at the end of a long day. It is especially nice not to have to carry 40 to 60 pounds of camping gear, extra clothing, food, etc. I can't think of a single disadvantage of a supported group tour except that you have to touch base at the end of every day. Being independent is vastly overrated in any event. Most of us do our cycling alone 95% of the time. It is quite nice to get together with other cyclists and do a week long ride together. These rides are mostly not expensive and you will be roughing it more than you think. Yet you are safe on these type of rides. Women especially like them because of the safety factor. Did you meet any hot bitches on such a tour? |

I am a Great Saint known far and wide as Saint Edward the Great. When I do a group tour I meet a lot of dumbbells and scum buckets like you. I say say hello and goodbye to your type and then stay as far away as I can get. Fortunately, there are always a few intelligent cyclists for me to converse with. If you want to meet "hot bitches" I suggest you resort to your local singles bars. They will acocomodate you if you have the cash to pay for it. I think some even take credit cards.

I figured since you only ride about 50 miles a day you must be saving your energy for something. Of course I realize certain capabilities degrade with age. When they get to a certain point, men become saints..or perhaps eunuchs. If you want to meet "hot bitches" I suggest you resort to your local singles bars.

I don't carry much cash with me and I don't think I can get cash back on my Costco credit card for such "services". |

Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota My fornicating ended many years ago, when I got married. Most females these days would love to be described as a hot bitch- you wouldn't know that because Nancy Reagan was probably a hot bitch the last time you interacted with a female, save for activating the nurse call button by your hospital bed. |

How about calling your wife a hot bitch - or your sister - or your mother? Go ahead ... do it! At least now you know why I think you are a moron! For your transgressions against the fair sex, I have reported your name to the Spanish Inquisition. They will instruct you on how women should be referred to after they have tortured you a bit. Never mind the torture, it will be good for your soul. Even if some women are whores and tarts (hot bitches in your lingo), they should be treated like ladies. A man who is not a gentleman is a scum bucket. Are you a scum bucket? Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Why the hell do you think I am Saint Edward the Great - for my health? Damnit, I am a Great Saint and now you well know it. You transgress with foul language at your peril. Approach my august presence with trepidation and do not refer to females ever as hot bitches. Females are baby factories and that is all they are. For Heaven's sakes, do I have to explain everything!

I have the ear of the Grand Inquisitor himself and he listens to my every utterance. Yea, we are all highly judgmental and we have found Mr. Sherman severely wanting in grace and humility. I surely would not want to be in his shoes! Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
