... it's a ... Nate, it depends on the group. I regularly do a 50 mile ride at over 20 that is hilly. 18 is a lot less, and if you have a strong motivated...
I highly recommend a 26 or at least a 25 cog for the hill after lunch. Lance Armstrong could probably do it in a 23, but I don't think he will be joining us...
... there a ... Yes, before the rain as I remember. It was COLD too! I don't know which was worse, the cold or the rain. Not a cloud in sight for tomorrow....
My ride was cut short on Dingletown Rd by a ripped shiftercable. Unfortunately I had no extracable with me. I was able to lock in my 28, but that would not...
I had similar troubles. I put my bike in the car this morning only to find that the bolt connecting my rear brakes to the frame had disappeared. At 5:30am I...
None of the "slower" group showed up except for me and Lloyd, so we rode with Bruce's group...ouch :-) ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
We had a great ride today. 14 people showed up at the start. The fast group was a total of 10 riders. We stuck together for most of the ride, and only split...
Mike, I'll ride it once. My plan is to ride it with Klaus -- We had a great century ride and I will rely on his experience at these long distances. Marc...
I'd estimate 17-18% at its steepest. It's a slight bit easier than a 20%'er I'm familiar with. BTW, Bruce, thanks for the ride. I had told my friends that if...
Couldn't keep this one to myself! 15% off ALL orders at BIKE NASHBAR!!! Spend $5 or Spend $5000 You get 15% off!! This is a super deal!!. I found the deal and...
Will there be a "slower" group this Sunday? Also, I assume that there will no longer be a "slower" Double Century on the 18th, if I'm wrong, please correct...
Mike, As far as I know at least Klaus, Marc, and myself are committed to the B+ double on Sunday. I think there's a group for the 18th as well. It seems...
Hi group! Wednesday night I bottled a bunch of beer for the big day. I have a very nice pale ale and a amber with a little more of a bite. I will be handing...
I'd still like to do the double on the 18th, but am unsure if anyone else is planning to ride it then. Mike, I'd love to have your company, especially since...
I'm feeling much better, and unless I have a set back tomorrow, I'm going to go for the Double this Sunday. I plan to ride with the B+ crowd. Mike Primavera *...
Mike, Glad you're feeling better. We'll stop for liquids. The first scheduled break is at about 60 miles, but if it's really hot and we run low, we'll have to...
The hot and heavy air made today's Double quite challenging. But it helped having Mike and Brad as companions. After a fast - fast for me - ride out it took us...
Klaus, Glad to hear your group made it back in time. We also stopped a lot on the last half. Six of us started out from SUNY knowing Jim Swigart would be...
