The response to our PBP equipment survey has been outstanding. Almost half of all RUSA PBP participants have responded. This is wonderful, and it provides an opportunity to get really meaningful data, if we can get responses from most of those who have not yet responded.
So if you did ride in PBP 2007 and haven't taken the survey yet, please do take a minute or two and go to
http://surveys.bikelist.org/
The survey will only be available for three more days, until midnight Sunday, October 21.
Your response really makes a difference, whether you finished the ride or not, whether you used a racing bike, a recumbent or some other type of bike, whether you used fenders or not, etc. We want to hear from you!
Please help make this a success. It is the most comprehensive survey of randonneuring equipment ever undertaken. It will show what works and what does not, and help randonneurs all over the world to make better equipment choices. We are counting on you!
We also have had quite a few responses from other countries, so we are opening the survey to all participants in PBP 2007.
Please forward this message to anybody you know who participated in PBP 2007, for example, forward it to your local randonneuring club's message board.
Thank you.
