I did the 69 mile route at Goatneck this morning. Paul came down and spent last night at my place, and got up and followed me to Goatneck this morning. It was great seeing you, Paul!
I was a lot slower than last year at Goatneck, and pretty wiped out at the finish. After never having to use the granny chain ring on this ride last year, I needed it on both County Line Hill and Goatneck Hill this year. I don’t know if riding to work all 5 days this week had me on tired legs, forgetting my carb drink mix slowed me down, or if I’m just getting feeble in my old age.
Here’s a video of the ride from Mark Leuck.
