August Smillow training ride
Voted Best supported, best attitude and best looking group of bike marshals ever! By 30 plus cyclist that weekend.
Our assistant bike marshals for the 70 mile training ride were ready, willing abd able to lead, support and smile for the entire ride. Thank you all...Yale cycle team riders for your support. i hope the weather holds up so that we can ride till christmas!.

September view from compo
I posted a photo in august of a rainbow after a rain storm. in that photo the rainbow ended at this spot from where i am taking the photo.
No pot of gold....just compo beach.
Larkin bridle trail.
Rode the trail mid october...pretty flat except for the street intersections with the trail. Total distance is about 11 miles each way. there were about 3 locations where i needed to dismount due to water or steep inclines.
Getting colder
This is one of my favorite roads / workouts. This the view as i head back home. 6-8 miles of uphill left from this point. this is usually mile mark 35.

the 25 mile finish line
It was a tough 25 miles with several hills along the way.
Quarter mile Tony now has a new nick name...."Quarter Century Tony! you did it bud!!!
Jordan and Katie did an awesome job.... Eric & Ed did ok.......
We left at 8:00am and were back by noon. averaging a true 6 miles per hour.
We all enjoyed the ride as well as the two rest stops.
The finish line events, cheeseburgers, salad and ice cream were a great end of the ride treat for Katie, Jordan, and Tony....... Eric & Ed took off to complete the 100 mile loop before closing ceremonies!!!!!
