Hello, I'd like to introduce myself to the group; I was referred to this site by my TNT (Leukemia group) coach, as we're preparing for a century in June and I...
Hank, Hope you'll join us. There are usually a couple of groups according to pace, number of breaks and riding style. This year the lead group is aiming for a...
Hello Brad, Thank you very much for the response and welcome. The pace I usually ride centuries by myself is about 17-17.5, but again I don't know how that...
Hi Hank, First, some very basic questions about your riding habits. 1. What is your general riding average speed in rolling terrain? 2. Have you ridden 17A...

Hi Nate, thanks for the response. I'm curious about 17a. No, have not ridden it from warwick to harriman but please tell me more as it's not that far from my...
I asked about 17A to get an idea if you enjoy riding hilly terrain. Whether west to east of vice versa it entails climbing and descending two mountains. ...

Anyone plan on riding tubulars for this years double? I would like to, and if another rider is, then we can probably ride with one spare each. Bruce...
Hey tubulars, that's a great idea! I know a good place we can go "tubing" along the Housatonic! If it's as hot as the 2000 double, that will work out well, B...

Bruce, Thanks for the informative reply. If you get a flat with them dont you have to glue on the new tire and wait for it to dry? Or can you just patch it. ...

... Yes, you have to peel off the old tire and put on a new one. You don't glue it, but rather use the glue on the rim. I should be faster than changing the...
... Sure, the ride is as flat as one can make a 200 mile ride around here and still have a nice ride. The first part of the ride goes up rt 128 in Armonk, then...
... elevations? Sure Hank. When you finish this ride, you'll be on a real high ;-) Using nothing other than my sense of elevation gain, I'll estimate an ...
