What’s New?
What is Randonneuring? Randonneuring is a type of organized long distance bicycle riding, with rides typically covering between 100 and 1,200 kilometers (60-750 miles). A participant is known as a randonneur. Anyone with an interest in long-distance, self-supported cycling is welcome to join on these rides. Ralph Rognstad has set up a web site randonneuring in the Southwest Missouri area. Go here for the details.

Web Site Problems (?)
Several members have reported that they have been unable to access this site. If you know someone who is having this problem please tell them it is certainly nothing that we did. Our web hosting company has been contacted and they said “Possibly the anti intrusion system blocked some series of IPs from accessing your website We will flush it, for sure this will fix it .” I certainly hope so... Dave.
BTW - there were 34,600 hits on the web site in 2008. We're always looking for new ways to serve the members and we're open to any suggestions you have to improve the site.
Getting out the word: Join the Springbike email list!
One easy way to keep in touch with other members is to join the Springbike email list. It’s free, and allows members to send a single email that will be broadcast to all subscribed members and posted blog-style on a Yahoo Groups hosted page.
| 2. To post and view messages on the Yahoo Groups site (you can then also post Files, Pictures, Links (internet addresses of interest), set up Polls, etc.) you need to join the Yahoo Springbike Group. (You won’t receive any email with this option.) | ||
 | Click the icon on the left to join the Springbike Yahoo Group. | |
| 3. If you would rather just go to the Yahoo host page and view the emails there, go to the new hyperlink on the top of the Springbike Home Page to get there. (...no need to join anything.) |
