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...

... 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 ...

Hi, somehow I've managed to get on your email list for the double century (?why?), and I am starting to get interested in it. When is it? How many of you are...

Thanks ladies. It does sound interesting, but I'm afraid the timing won't work, as I am already training for an event 6/29. My plan does call for a long...

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 [Non-text...

John, you must be a really strong cyclist to pull this off. I have done a couple of centuries, but never 200, and I don't think this would be the best time...
