Rides in Black are the
rides that would likely have been scheduled in 2010 on the pattern
of recent years.
Rides in Purple are expected to have significant out-of-region
appeal.
Rides in Orange are proposed new rides for 2010.

Message from Patrick: I'd like to propose adding a Traces Pacifique
event to the Fleche Pacifique weekend. There is a Traces Velocio
event in France on the same weekend as the Fleche Velocio with
the same finish location. The Traces event mostly eiminates night
riding and covers a shorter distance, 201km min, 360km max. The
start time is fixed, 6.00 am Saturday and the course is neutralised
from 10.00pm - 6.00 am. (Which I take to mean that you can't ride
after 10.00pm) So essentialy it's a fleche style event with minimal
or no night riding. There are a couple of reasons that I can think
of that this might get a few more riders out. There are some long
time riders in the club who haven't ridden a fleche since the
'no more than 2 hours in one location' rule came into effect and
there are other riders who simply don't like to ride all night
without a sleep break. I do wonder whether this might dilute the
Fleche and reduce the number of teams riding all night, or whether
there is a large enough pool of other riders to draw on to make
this an event in it's own right and expand the number of riders
at the banquet on Sunday morning. I've attached a copy of the
rules from France.
See you all on Skype tonight.
Patrick.
