Mariposa Randonneuring Bicycle is sweet!

My lust for the perfect rando bike has been quenched at last. The list of requirements included: soul, steel, lugs, beausage, fit, feel, function.

PBP yields hard points for OR Randonneurs

I have a bicycling friend from the UK who often referred to "hard points". Steve alluded to sleeping in ditches, riding in the mountains while underdressed etc. These circumstances yielded hard points for the riders which only enhanced the experience. I don't know the scoring system or who's keeping track but I know that each and every one of the hardy souls who attempted PBP in 2007 has earned many "hard points". My OR randonneur rider friends Eric, John and David are hereby awarded 1000 hard points each for weathering the storm which was PBP while keeping their cheerful rando spirit intact. well done.....
