Dear Peter and All,

	Why not just join the South Florida Region Fleche which is being
held over the week end of March 31, and ends in Clermont, Fl, just a few
miles farther south than Gainesville?  We have had the Fleche on our
schedule for the past 2 years and can't seem to get anyone from Gainesville
to join us. You might want to support a Fleche that is already on the RUSA
Official Schedule.

	We do traditionally ride the event over the weekend for us working
stiffs and try to arrive at the same times for the inpact of everyone coming
in together.  Also we celebrate with a photo opportunity and a big breakfast
at Denny's and spend a couple of hours making new friends and revisiting old
ones. It's not that far from Gainesville to Clermont.  Why not ride from
Gainesville to Clermont?  If you can't get a full team together you could
always join one of ours.

	Everyone is invited to join us on this great team event and
celebration of Randonneuring.  Please contact Michael E. Grussemeyer, RBA,
South Central Florida Region if you would like to join one of our teams or
form one of your own.  www.bike4one.com  xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx

BON VOYAGE!  PBP IN AUGUST!

	Sincerely, Michael E. Grussemeyer, RBA, South Central Florida Region

Subject: [Randon] Fleche April 19 in Florida

I apologize if you receive multiple copies of this - I know several of you
are on more than
one, and sometimes all of these lists.

The end point of the Florida Fleche is in Gainesville. I am putting together
a team to ride
from near Gainesville north and back in a loop.

I spoke with Joe Arnold, the organizing RBA, about the rules,  and I checked
them this
morning, and we can make a route from near Gainesville - i.e., Williston,
and finish in
Gainesville.

I'd like to invite you  to join the team - keep it social, no heroics for
speed or
distance, stops to eat, relax, sightsee, whatever.

A Fleche is a minimum 360 K in 24 hours. No stopping point can be more than
2 hours, and 25K
has to be covered in the last 2 hours. The idea is to meet up with other
teams,usually for a
meal, then disperse. There can be a maximum of 5 members to a team, and 3
must finish togther
for the team to suceed.

Why ride a fleche? It is a ride the French love. For those not yet
convinced, it is a
requirement for a Super Randonneur 5000 medal, which includes PBP, a 1000K
and 5000K of
brevets in a four year period. The year I got mine, there were only about a
dozen in the U.S..

The deadline for submitting a team is March 1, so please let me know. It is
a team event, so
once you commit, please keep in mind how important your participation would
be to the team.
Right now, there are two of us committed (to the fleche, not an institution)
and we are
looking for three more riders.

se

see ya,
Peter
