Waiting (really resting) at the top of hill 3

What a beautiful morning… finally! Last week was 32 degrees in the rain for the two that showed up! Hoss and Chuck braved it out and Chuck took a triple crown while Hoss was slowed down by stuck shifters.

Justin rides again… it was good to see him back on the bike again. We still had a small group, but that didn’t make it easier or slower. Alan hitched a ride up hill 3 and probably set a new KOM, but will have no cadence and a low HR 🙂

Here’s the sprint, thanks to Hoss’ video:

Nice and cool weather! Welcome back to Rudy! New guy Stephen killed it, without knowing the end of the hills, just kept at it. Only one dropped and cracked phone today.

Nice and cool from the rain last night.  But the rain also pushed out the gravel on the roads.  Only one flat… Chuck.

Hill #1 – Chalmers

The Castle – Mike A.

Hill #3 – Kirk

Hill #4 – Durrant

Hill #5 – Jared

Sprint – Jay

Beautiful morning for a ride. Cloud cover kept the sun off our backs but brought the humidity.

A few items of note from today. Mike A. pimped his teammate GC for the Castle climb then Jared pimped Kirk at the top of Hill #5. Clint had a flat on the descent after Hill #1.

We all came to a full stop for the light at Mill & Washington/Curry before the sprint. When the light turned green Jared (on a MTB) was off like a rocket. Jay grabbed his wheel and Jared took him halfway across the bridge with a huge gap. Jay held off the chasers but just barely, crossing the line inches ahead of Kirk, GC and Durrant.

Quote of the day from Chalmers “Of all the days to go for the sprint it was a guy on a mountain bike and Jay at the front”.
