REI

RMCC is offering a seminar on riding long distance events (non-members are welcome ) from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at the REI Flagship  at 1416 Platte Street in Denver in the large (east) meeting space. Participants should park in the underground lot in front of the store. Use the stairs or elevator for access to the front door of the store.

The seminar will emphasize brevet riding (200 kilometer, 300 km, 400 km, 600km, and 1200 km events) with attention focused on this year's Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) event. Discussing how to ride these events to achieve success for both the average randonneur rider and the elite rider, we will cover setting goals, training, nutrition, planning, sleeping, and the potential pitfalls. Speakers will be members with multi-year experience in riding and competing in these events.
