Apr 30 - May-Sep Biking Schedule

I've just been going over "our" (my) schedule for May & June trying to figure out what is happening vis-a-vis bike rides. So far, I'm mentally committed to the following Brevets:

-- May 2 -- Simcoe (Alliston Ontario) 200 @ 8am
-- May 9 -- Rochester NY (Ontario NY) 200 @ 7am
-- May 30 -- Simcoe 300 @ 6am
-- June 6 -- Simcoe 400 @ 6am
-- June 11-14 -- Shenandoah 1200
-- June 10-21 -- away for Shenandoah (me), NY (Sandy), FL (both)
-- June 27/28 -- Simcoe 600 @ 6am

That puts me here the weekends of May 16 & 23, and no weekends in June ...

I need to do that 400 on June 6 in advance of the Shenandoah. It's good prep. My other option for a 600 is in Toronto (Erin Mills) July 25th. That might not be a bad idea -- good timing in advance of the Granite Anvil 1200 in August and gives me the weekend of June 27th off.

-- Aug 13-16 - Granite Anvil 1200
-- Sep 13 - NYC 200

Of course there's always the July 9th 1000k lap-of-lake that starts in Erin Mills but if I did that so soon after the Shenandoah 1200 I'd have to invest in a gram calibrated bathroom scale to weigh myself and a whole new wardrobe. Of course Sandy says that all my clothes are too big for me now ...

There are several other 200's that are on the Ontario Randonneurs calendar. I'll have to choose at least one ride in July so that I continue with at least one ride per month -- after 12 months I then get the RUSA R12 (one ride in each of 12 continuous months). Since we'll be in Florida for part of September, October, November, December & January that will complete my R12.
