Tour de Gap
Jul 25th, 2015, 4:39pm
 
I'm trying to try to figure out if I did good or bad today. I averaged 18.6mph over a very hilly course--definitely designed for an upright. I only placed 8th in my age group of 50-59, and 30th overall. There were some young guns here who were really tough from all over Texas and some from Colorado and even Mexico. I hadn't been really pushing hard in training, but what I did was 20+mph work on flats.
 
Oh, I meant to put a link to my ride.....over 40 mph on the hills....

Adults should have fun so kids will want to grow up!

For every mile of road there's two miles of ditch.

I'd rather be sorry for something I did than for something I didn't do.

Did you ride?  If so, you did good and deserve a  Smiley

I guess I need to find a flatter course. Next ride is HHH. Hope to see you for a few miles at least there before you put on the afterburners.

I don't think I'm going.  Don't have a reservation and the church isn't doing rider hospitality anymore.
