2009 Harpoon B2B (Brewery to Brewery) ride

At the risk of beating a word to death, this ride was EPIC.  I know BikeSnobNYC pokes fun at it’s overuse but it really was epic for me.  From the day before (at race packet pickup) until the bus ride home it was a great overall experience. Hard, long (148mi) and a ton of fun. [...]

Connecticut Stage (CTSR) Race Recap Cat 4 Men

124.1 miles and 5:32:07 of racing. And it all came down to 0.55 seconds.
