RE: [NYDoubleCentury] When is this ride?

We can compare experiences with and without a proper taper as I am planning
to do the Tinman and the double too. I have severe doubts about this plan
but can't resist the double. I did it last year and had a great time.

Yes, but only the bike part. I was injured this winter, and couldn't run.
So was a friend, so we formed a team... Kind of good luck/bad luck thing
