Waiting for those ride reports. From what I could see, we had a strong showing with riders looking strong up to the point I left at mile 63 atop the hill in Ridge, NH.

The day got off to a confused start when some of us decided to ride with Sean who realized that he was the Captain of the 17mph group, and not the 18. So before we left with Sean, we made a frantic search for Steve Cutter and Rich Benner. Couldn’t find either, but we left anyways. Nice, huh?
Steve figured it out and chased us down. I never did see Rich again. Giuseppe was itching to ride hard, and most of us resisted. So we got dropped around mile 59. I could see Giuseppe’s red outfit off in the distance when I turned around. I had a great ride, making it home by 1:45p in plenty of time for my daughters recitals. I’m glad I was home for them. 125miles even.
I realized how amazingly beneficial it is to drink plain water at the end and pour some of it on the back of your head and neck. It cooled me right down and let me cruise in the last 20 miles feeling like new (well, not totally new). Why haven’t I ever done this before. It was amazing. My low point was mile 90-105. Starting to overheat.
