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. Except for the physiological freaks that sometimes destroy us mortals in races, very few of us are such complete riders that we can time trial, sprint, and climb and still have juice left at the end of a 90+ mile race–clearly, [...]
