Bluegrass Brevets

Although I have neither the time nor maybe even inclination, and certainly not the legs to do a brevet series, the LBC is hosting a Brevet series in 2009, with the first leg- the 200K- off in March. For many years these were hosted out of Lexington by the Bluegrass Bicycle club but I guess it's transferred for the moment over to the 'Ville. I commend all those for putting their efforts in to conquering such long rides. Yes, these folks can be fanatical, but it certainly tests the limit. Be wishes and tailwinds, especially for those suckers riding the 600K. (And yes, that's 360ish miles, right? at one sitting?)

After reading about the Seattle/Portland batch of ride stories, I'm wondering about the idea of a populaire here in the 'ville.
