600km Brevet Plan and Ride | Super Randonneur 2023
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2023
- To achieve the status of Super Randonneur, one must complete a 200km, 300km, 400km, and 600km brevet in a season, and was my primary goal for cycling in 2023. Join me as I share my plans, the ups and downs of execution, and the lovely scenery along the Korea Randonneurs Ttangkeut 600k.
Special thanks to Blair, Jason, Mikhail, Mike, and Deniz for being great riding mates, and to Nina for constant support all year. - Спорт

Something Ive found handy for keeping the glasses clean is to take your spectacle cloth and put a few drops of dishwashing liquid , then moisten it. I then keep it in its own small ziplock bag. It cuts through the greasy marks, misplaced snot and dust that accumulates on your glasses.
nice made audax video
greetings vom ARA Kiel in Germany

Earplugs! I never go anywhere without them anymore
If I wind up sleeping somewhere else I'm always glad to have them 🙏
Enjoying your videos. Keep them coming !! I like your tips, and then the video from the ride itself. Very well done.
Just found your channel! As a Korean living in the states who enjoy bikepacking trips and interested in randonneuring, I'm shocked that there's randonneuring organization in Korea! Awesome video
Thank you for watching! Are there any topics I could cover that would help you get started in the sport?
The Korea Randonneurs is a very active group. We had over 1.7 million brevet km ridden in 2022. Most events out of Seoul seem to reach the 200 rider limit quite quickly too. If you are ever back over here, most major cities have a full series of brevets, which is really convenient.
Inspiring ride, thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed the video!
Thanks for posting. Very inspirational. I was amazed that a Brompton rider participated.
Thank you Horsham, I'll have to ask around about the Brompton riders results. There are several avid Brompton randonneurs here, and from what I've heard they are quite tough and strong. My Brompton will stay on commute and grocery duty.
The YT algorithm has saved the day. This is one of the local Brompton riders: www.youtube.com/@bamtol
@@overbikedrandonneuringThanks for the link! The Brompton folks are a durable group.
Congratulations! Great ride. Hope to see you and thank you for your très bonnes conseils in person at PBP. Please share your PBP start time! Cheers, Kitty
Great work! That's a fun group you rode with. I also love finding a hose and cool down. See you on one of the brevets :)
Thanks Bas! They are a blast. Hope to see you on the road.
13:30 for these kind of situations always carry ear plugs :) does the job very well. Congrats on SuperRan!
I've also used my phone as an improvised brown noise machine to mask background noise.
Thanks, and great idea. I have a tub of them at home (apartment life) and just didn't think to bring some.
한국에 사시는 군요 ㅎㅎ 남쪽은 영산강이랑 섬진강만 밖에 안가봤는데 진도쪽도 풍경이 좋네요. 한번 가봐야 겠어요.
전라도의 풍경은 아름답다. www.korearandonneurs.kr/은 경치 좋은 길을 자주 이용합니다. 나는 풀 코스를 타지 않더라도 새로운 길을 찾기 위해 이것을 사용합니다. 시청 해주셔서 감사합니다!
That was great! Congratulations on the Super Randonneur! On to BPB...?
Thanks Jaqaroo! PBP wasn't on my radar this year, but perhaps I can target the next edition.
You have great advise on your channel. However, as much as I love the gp5000 when it’s mounted, I hate to have to fix a puncture when having a gp5000 mounted, as it fits really tight on the rims. Can’t imagine how I would feel having to do this being exhausted after 400k or so in a 600k loop 🙈
Thank you! I've heard that about some rims. I expected the same when I mounted them a few months after this 600, but they went on with a single tire lever. Very similar to the Schwalbe Pro One TLE: snug and secure, but not problematic to mount. I've not had a single flat with them set up tubless (touch wood) and there were no issues when remounting after replacing sealant. Great tire, but I just ordered a replacement Schwalbe for the rear this morning because it is half the price. It's hard to stomach that cost.
@@overbikedrandonneuring so true. I´ve had one puncture on a bikepacking trip throught the alps with the GP 5000. Unfortunately i had the tan wall version mounted. It was in the middle of nowhere and it took me round 30 minutes to get the tire of the rim. Only had 200k on the tire. The sidewall got sliced from the sharp stone. Somehow we managed to get to Innsbruck, found a bike shop and got a new tire.
Btw. You forgot some energy bars... Not for the contens :-) just for the tinfoil wrap. The tinfoil of a bar saved me back then. Put the tinfoil where the cut was between tube and tire and continued.
Impressive, I wonder if the Brompton made it. My goal is to ride to Mokpo and back, which is only 200 km.
Early starts are really nice for that now that its getting hot. Curious how the rainy season will pan out. Mokpo has some nice restaurants to lunch for such a ride.
I'd give the Brompton rider a high rate of success. They seem to be quite active in the club and at least 1 went to PBP in 2019.
Not sure if this is the same guy, but it may be: www.youtube.com/@bamtol
@@overbikedrandonneuring I didn't see how a Brompton could go fast since it has such small tires, but apparently with a 54 x 6 gearing at a cadence of 90 rpm they can go 45 kph, which is very impressive. You might find this video comparing Bromptons and road bikes interesting: ua-cam.com/video/F98oQ7Xo5mI/v-deo.html
Congrats on the SR!!!! Looks like you were in good company for the whole ride! What's next? 🤔
Thanks Brandon! Really happy to be back at it again. I think you know that crew well. They are a blast to ride with. It was hilarious listening to the banter when editing this video. SBS is a consideration for this year depending on work requirements, but I mainly want to become less potato-shaped and refine my riding strategies. You doing the Busan 2030?
SBS is a fun one! With it being an out and back, you get to see a lot of riders. I'm planning on 2030. Should be an adventure. 😅
I am preparing for 400 at this weekend. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@4:42 I believe that amount of sugar+salt is for 1st all day.
Then, how do you take it? Bring a scoop? I guess it is not going to be melt in a sungle bottle.
Hi Seong Min, thank you for watching. Firstly, good luck on the 400 this weekend! I carry 3 bottles for brevets. 2 are for drink and 1 is for sugar/sodium mix that lasts about 1 day depending on what whole foods I eat. I prefer bottles since Ziploc bags often open unexpectedly and make a mess. I just pour the sugar mix from the mix bottle into drink bottles before adding water. I know about how high I need to pour the mix to reach my target concentration from practice, and it's okay to make a small mistake. Marking a line on the bottle with a Sharpie can work too if it's a new strategy. Good luck!
@overbikedrandonneuring
Thanks for your tips!
I totally agree ziploc bags doesn't work on field.
See you on the road, oneday!
@@tgergfg I'll be at the Gwangju->Busan 300k later this month. I will attempt SBS next month too. Not super confident about it because it is so long, but I look forward to trying.
Awesome! Are you joining in PBP 2023?
Hi MD, I have no plans this year for PBP, but perhaps 2027. Are you going? I hope KoRa is well represented this year. Good luck!
@@overbikedrandonneuring Yes I will participate this time. This is already my 3rd participation. Thanks!
Are aerobars permitted for bevets?
Hi Avinash, most local audax clubs permit the use of aero bars, following ACP guidelines. I've only found that Audax India Randonneurs do not allow them. I messaged their office and the director noted road conditions, traffic habits, and the route selection as factors leading to this choice. A bit more detail can be found my video here: ua-cam.com/video/KgLHMecQPEg/v-deo.html
So, doing PBP?
It wasn't on the radar for this year. Best wishes to participants though. I bet it is a really awe inspiring experience to have 7000 randonneurs giving it a go.
Huge thanks for sharing and posting this great team "Hammering" ride for Gwangju 600km! Hope to ride together again for any brevets this year, but yes! Can't wait to be with you for Danpung 200km now scheduled for Oct! Btw, ua-cam.com/video/pcUg-ViPmtg/v-deo.html is really good to me to know how my butts worked on. 😛
It was such a memorable ride and really fun to go over the footage to make this video. I'll have to get stronger/lighter for all the climbing on Danpung 200. Looking forward to it Blair!
