Last weekend was Battenkill. Bernard and I trekked out to small town New York to have some pain doled out. This is a road race where there is about 25% dirt roads over the course of 55 miles with 4,000'+ of climbing. Add to that the unsuspecting 92ºF temperatures and little amounts of water each rider brought. We considered it the hardest single day race EVER (so far).
After the race (and after someone stole my bar-end plugs!) we were looking for some food/results. We guessed results were somewhere between [40,70] out of the 125 person field. We bumped into a local who was doing the truffle shuffle over to the mailbox and pulled his car straight in, in the opposite driving direction. He asked if we had won and we shrugged it off saying, nah it was a hard race.
He says "it's time to get more serious then!"
