RE: [NYDoubleCentury] Any B Riders Interested in the Double?

Hi Jim,
I've been thinking about doing the double with you guys for the past 2
years. Maybe it's time. I've done many centuries but never a double. For
the past 5 years I've ridden with the Westchester Team In Training Chapter
(Bob Beringer is the coach). Before Thanksgiving I rode the El Tour de
Tucson (5th time) and did a 100 miles in 5:54 and that included getting off
the bike and walking it across two dry river beds - part of the rides
tradition. Anyway, I think I could probably hold my own with the B riders.
I live in Warwick so it might be hard for me to regularly train with you.
I'm still committed to TNT and training the new team for the Lake Tahoe ride
(June 4th) has to take precedence. When I'm not riding with TNT I'm over
here riding with the Orange County Bike Club "B's".

What's the date of this year's double? I'd like to do it.

Marty Gottlieb

Subject: [NYDoubleCentury] Any B Riders Interested in the Double?

I posted a few months ago, but now that we are getting closer... Are
there any B riders interested in the double this year? I'm planning on
riding irregardless of who else rides, but it would be nice to have
some company after I get dropped from the A group. :)

Any takers? If there are no B riders on this group, maybe some of you
could pass the word along to your B friends? Thanks...

--Jim

I'd be interested but I am a true "B' rider at this distance, not a B+. I just don't have the leg strength to drive the hills at that distance. Longest I've...

That sounds like me -- I use a triple for the steep climbs. I can push an "A" pace on flats and short climbs, but not for 200 miles (or even 100 for that...

Marty, I have not not done the WCC double yet either -- I just joined in 2005. Given your 100 times, it sounds to me like you would have little problem...

... The pace is what ever you want to make it. I recommend 16 to finish before dark, but I have ridden it as slow as 15.3 and still made it. The fast group...

I'm a solid B rider, and I'm interested in this year's double if there are a few "slower" riders that might want to join me. I've ridden several centuries,...

Martin, As someone who has done the double a few times, you sound well-trained for the event. The terrain is very mellow, and if you can hang with a group, you...
