Okay, I laughed. Zip ties are a staple in the U.S. randonneuring world for info controls. Particularly in places that have more signs than other landmarks. I have never used one as an info control...

Many French riders only do a series and PBP and that's it for 4 years. The idea of the SR series was to get you ready for PBP. I agree that any French rider that rides a series the year of PBP should...

I pay rwgps for the cue sheet functionality. It annoys me that it's the most expensive option, but it isn't a huge amount of money. I hope they stay away from venture capitalists. And every time I...

The mistakes I have found on PA cue sheets (that I remember) happened when they reversed a course. They used to always get Bill O. to pre-ride, and he famously never used a GPS. The problem with that...

I don't mind 300k's but I'm never going to ride a 300k perm. OTOH, I would have the Ultra Randonneur award except I didn't ride a second 300k one year.

I always use a cue sheet, even though I primarily navigate with my gps. I like to know about the next turn, if I'm on the road with the right name, and so on. If nothing else, the volume on my garmin...

What I have found is that RBAs are getting worse at making accurate cue sheets. Find out if the route designer rides with a GPS. Especially on something like a 1200k.

I have an 810 someone gave...

One of my info controls involved a set of individualized mailboxes. Then someone took them out and they were replaced by mailboxes that were all the same. And they put them in exactly the same spot...

I can't express properly how much I hate info controls that involve walking around looking for the answer. Or at least the ******g censor would have a heyday with it. They really should allow...

I hate info controls that are there for no good reason. One ACP 200k I have ridden has a control every 10 miles in the second half and you only need the finish.
There is an obsession with proof of...
