"Grace Pineda, Ellen Jaffe and I have formed a team for the upcoming NJ fleche (an ACP randonneuring event).
Full details about a fleche are available here:
http://www.rusa.org/flecherules.html
Basically, we'll be attempting to complete a 227 mile ride within 24 hours (with no sleep stops). We're starting from the Newark NJ train station on April 7th (arrive via PATH or NJ Transit) and will come home from Princeton Junction via NJ Transit on April 8th.
We are 3 enthusiastic rookies hoping to add 1-2 teammates. If you're interested in this challenge, please send me an email. You can meet me, Ellen, and Grace next Sunday and preview the first part of the route if you join our century-a-month club ride on Sun, March 25th.
Since we'll be riding through the night, a good lighting system and reflective clothing will be required. And of course since the ride is only 3 weeks away, you should already be doing some serious training."
