Well for 2011 I was going to start racing simi-pro, but changed my mind when I found out about Ranndonneuring. 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.
Randonneur Events
The most common type of event is a brevet (pronounced breh-VAY), referring to the certificate (brevet) the participant receives signifying completion of a particular distance. Randonneur events are 200 km (125mi), 300 km (190mi), 400 km (250mi), 600 km (375mi), 1000 km (625mi), and 1200 km (750mi). The longer events are held over multiple days. Along the course, you check in at various places to show that you completed the entire course. During longer events, sleep breaks are planned at intermediate points. In the end, you get a medal if you complete the course within the generous time limit. If you like going fast, there usually is a group who try to see how quickly they can complete the course. But the results are listed alphabetically, and everybody gets the same medal, so it is not a race. Our long rides are challenging for anybody, but every finisher is a winner.
One of the most famous of these longer events is the 1200 km Paris-Brest-Paris, first held in 1891 and now held every four years. The next PBP will be in August 2007 and members of SIR will participate alongside over 4,000 riders from dozens of countries.
I think Randonneuring for RNY person is a great challange because of trying to get all your water and food in is going to be a bigger part of the trip than the actual ride. Most ridders would not even be aware of your hidden struggle or challange. Hopefully this will all go great for me.
Me on a trainer thinking about the win, LOL

My new coat is to big and I will have to send it back. It is hard to judge sizes now that I am in my 170s. My 2 Speacilized Roubaix bicycles are in the background.
Here is the food I take on my Bicycle rides. The juice I put in a 24oz water bottle. I take 4 water bottles one with the juice the other 3 with water. Then I take 6 power jells,1 power bar;
I drink the strawbarry before the ride and the chocolate after the ride;
There now you know my secret to riding a bike over 9000 miles so far this year. Eat and drink on the bike what you might burn.
