The Stillwater Retour 200k, originally scheduled for 12/1, has been postponed until Sunday, 12/2, due to a weather advisory posted this afternoon that is now calling for freezing rain.
*** Update #1 (11/29) ***
The cuesheet has been updated to draft 5, dated 11/28/11: The update corrects the name of Controle 2, which has changed from a Citgo minimart to a Penn Jersey food market. Also, the date on the cuesheet has been corrected. There are no course changes -- the route is exactly the same as the 2011 edition.
I'm keeping a close eye on the (small) chance of some precipitation on Friday night -- at this time, black ice conditions do not seem very likely but be sure to check back for any updates as the weather forecast firms up. It does appear that there might be some rain spritzes through out the day on Saturday, so packing some spare clothing might be a good idea.

*** Original Post ***
The December R-12 is on Saturday, December 1st. We'll be running the same course as the November R-12 but in the reverse direction: Le Retour du Stillwater 200k.
The start/finish is at the Milford Bakery in Milford, NJ -- the southern most extent of the course. There is plenty of parking in the large parking lot on Church St in Milford (PA Randonneurs has permission to use the parking lot which is now owned by the Medical supply store at the old bakery location). The Bakery opens at 6AM and has breakfast sandwichs along with an assortment of baked goods. The finish controle and post ride gathering will be at Pipolo's Pizzera, a couple of stores down the street from the Bakery.

I've already heard from a couple of riders planning to clip-in. If you're planning to join us too, please send me a note by Thursday. And as always, be sure to monitor the PA message board for any last minute updates.
