ECV/Riverside Cycles Shop Ride - Awesome

The gang getting ready to hit the road.

About 18 folks showed up for the annual ECV/Riverside Cycles Shop Ride today.  The ride started out with Newburyport's summer fog and cool temps, but quickly warmed up as we headed for the hills inland.  A couple of folks chose the 20 miler, kicking back and enjoying the quiet country roads.  The rest crossed the river and up we went to do some climbing.  Aaron kept the pace comfortable and the group intact (no easy job!) which at the end of the ride turned out to be just a fantastic Merrimac Valley tour.  I think everyone really enjoyed the ride.

Thoughts from Lake Sunapee RR 2009

Thoughts from Saturday's Lake Sunapee RR:
- My first Masters race - racing nirvana; finally, a benefit to being older.  Farewell, annoying and dangerous 4 races . . . this was just too good.
- Hills - no particular killers, just enough in succession to slowly take it out of the legs . . . the final one to the finish doesn't look like much until you try it at the end of racing 46 over those other hills . . . my legs crumbled
- Shout-outs for ECV on the last turn into town from a flag-waving race-course volunteer; thanks Karin!!

Crank the Kanc Time Trial - 2009 Race Report

The 2009 Crank the Kanc uphill time trial, which bills itself as “the best unknown hillclimb in the East,” was held on Saturday May 16th with over 200 riders taking up the challenge.  The 21 mile course which ascends the east side of the Kancamagus Highway saw a new course record set under near perfect racing conditions.
Several ECV and affiliated local riders had strong performances and earned top 3 spots in their categories.  Here’s a summary of the results:
