From: mailto: Nine crazy riders thought it would be a good idea to do a hilly ride on this hot day One did 34, the rest around 55 miles (4,000 ft climbing) Breezy day, but it seemed to make the heat more tolerable A convenience store on Rte 80 near New Woodstock at the 30-mile mark was perfect The nice lady there filled all our water bottles so we could all finish (sorta) strong

Hard to believe the Tour de France riders did double the miles and quadruple the climbing we did on day one And they had to contend with a spectator holding a sign and causing a spectacular crash Now that’s crazy!

See ya on the road, Colleen
