New England Winter Tri: Segment 2

New England Winter Tri: Segments 1

The North Shore Cyclists, a fine LAB club, have produced this wonderful century for decades. These are great rides for novices and tourists to mix it up with riders with 100K+ in their legs. I was invited to join the KIT guys in an attempt to knock the event out in 4:30, thereby finishing fastest of all attendees.  We gathered up a few strong riders along the way. As this was the idea of Art Trapotsis, we agreed to indeed keep it tight (easy when it's hard; hard when it's easy!....which is apparently hard to learn). But we opened it up on the final climb and run into the finish, where I notched on to the KOM board and rolled in a wee smidge off the front but with a new friend (made friendlier by his sitting up in the final roll into the parking lot!). After all those training rides in support of others, I have to say I enjoyed getting to just rip it for a change. This was a great tune-up for next weekend's Bike the Bay in San Diego and the Sept. 8 Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle with 6K in climbing! (Yikes)
