The club is looking for photos for the annual holiday party. Every year we show photos in a rotating slide show. Photos are fun to watch and see who you...
Hey group, It is that time of year again when we have to ask ourselves when we want to ride the double next year. Fathers Day is June 18th in 2006. This would...
For those of us that are new to this... Are the first three dates group training rides? I would only be able to make the date for the 125, if that matters. Of...
Yes, the other rides are a training series. The 75 miler is really a back by noon style A ride. The 100 and 125 are longer rides. The 75 starts at 8am, the...
As the newest member of this yahoo group, I look forward to riding with you and doing the proposed double. Myself and 6 friends are competing in the E-Tape du...

... I rode with a 12x25 all of last season with a 53x39 up front. I really had to spin hard in 53x12 to keep up on the Tuesday night ride in spots. I think I...
Thanks On Thursdays, I used a 53x11 on descents -- rt 172 to 22 and rt 22 before 433. I also caught Tom on 120? when he sprinted ahead at the end before the ...
... Yeah, that is where I need it as well. On Rt172 coming into Bedford you can easily get over 30mph for long stretches. ... That will be a good gear for the...
Where and when are the midweek training rides? Distance and pace? _____ From: NYDoubleCentury@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NYDoubleCentury@yahoogroups.com] On...
... There are several. Mondays nights from Waller Ave parking lot behind the old High Caliper in White Plains. An easy pace recovery ride. I don't do it...
Thanks Bruce - what's your recommendation for me. I don't mind working hard but I'd like to have some shot at staying with some members of a group. _____ ...
... I would try the Wednesday and Friday night rides first. Go with the fastest group. Call the leader before the ride to make sure there have been faster ...
Adam, You could also lead some A rides for the club on weekends where there wasn't a training ride. You could pick the distance and go. I can put you in...
The pace of the Monday night rides depends on who shows up. The vibe is pretty mellow, and no one gets dropped. Last year we had a good crowd of "regulars",...
Thanks Bruce; I'll be able to climb a hill with you guys yet. Now if I can only get you to bring that attitude out here with the rest of us in shorts and...
... Nah, I don't run. Too hard on the knees and the rest of my body. As you get older, you appreciate the beauty of cycling. Hard to do, but easy on the ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
President's Week: I am in the West Palm Beach area a lot during the winter. My next trip will be 2/17 - 2/26. I train with the Cycle Science Team and the J...

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...
... 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...
