I'm sending in my registration today; I'm assuming I want to do the 100 mile road race, correct?

EVERYONE wants to race. If you get dropped... just ride at ur own pace because if you do the "fun ride" *cough NDSU cough* its like a 75 mile (or whatever distance) ITT.
Use this race to build experience. I have also spoken with Larry a number of times and at least last year, he counted this race towards a cat 4 upgrade. Its decent experience. Go... ride with the peloton. Ask Mario... he'll tell you.
-
Yeah...Mario will tell you :lol:
-
Who's going? Who's driving? Who needs a ride? When are we leaving?
-
I might need a ride.I'm still waiting to hear form one guy from Tri club that is going as well. You should be leaving that Saturday morninig.It's about 1.5 hours drive.
-
Correction, it is 2h 40min to get there!
-
Okay, so it looks like I'll be driving. I can take some people. Let me know. I guess we'll be leaving 6ish Saturday morning then.
-
how many bikes can you fit on your car?Do you know if Sloth is comming?
-
Looks like it will be you, me and Hollywood.
-
Here are the results for those who missed lots of fun!
-
Nice work. Looks like the pace was about the same as last year. Were their still the same amount of yahoo's trying to pass on the dirt?
-
The pace was slightly faster (my time was almost 2min faster than last year), but the first part of the race was slower and than we picked up a lot in the second half when I went upfront and started to do some pulls and chasing breakaways down:-). It seamed that this year there was less yahoo's. There was though another crash coming to the finish line during sprint.Fortunately I was upfront!
