Rapha Gentleman's Race in New Paltz NY

"I wanted to get this post up sooner than later but the mental fatigue and a busy work week have been reminiscent of the resistance going up the sustained 10% grades last Sunday." - Tom 3 weeks ago.

That was the first week's excuse, not sure why I've been slacking in writing this post for so long. It certainly deserved a write up, but like the ride, there's a lot to cover. Instead here are some images from the ride.



This was a joy to climb, as it came early and the views were spectacular.



Rosey used the old dollar bill trick on a sliced sidewall. It held out for the rest of the 100+ miles.


The Squadra refuels : Meg, Mark, Steve, Jeff and Scott. A solid group of friends to ride, suffer, and rejoice with.

Throw some BBQ sauce on these legs, cooked well done
