[knobbyhead]

Is anybody going on (or has been on) the Twin Lights Ride? Info here: http://www.bikenewyork.org/ride/twin-lights-ride/

It will be on Sept 30. I plan on doing my first century on this ride.

Good Event. Did it two years ago. My first century ever.

Very well organized. Beautiful oceanside routes. Not many inclines at all. Only challenge was crazy headwinds from the ocean breeze.

Wow, I just saw your response. Thanks for the info. I know about the headwinds on ocean ave. They can be brutal. Thanks for the route info, I will check it out.

Cruiser...

Did this last year and plan to do the same. Über flat route, nicely run only real quandary is deciding which rest stop to stop at and which to skip. I likely stopped in too many last year...be sure to leave some appetite to purchase a nice lobster roll at the finish....

bigW, I just signed up. (after Sept 5 the prices go up) I will save some money for the end of the ride.

I am pretty excited. I have done many 50, 60, 70 rides but never gone the distance of 100.

Nice. Silly question, I don't a gps. Where do I put my route sheet?

 

[knobbyhead]

Thanks. I have heard that it is well marked. The route be in an area were I do all my road riding, so it will be nice to see what roads the route takes so I can use them in the future.

( waited on line for the traditional post-ride lobster roll and they were all out of them. WTF? )

Did anyone catch the bike with the blender on it over by the NYC tent. They were doing smoothies. I took a turn at it. You pedaled it and smoothies for everyone! That was cool.

Had a great time doing my 1st century! I did see the blender bike, it was pretty cool. did the ride in 6 hours 40 minutes. Pretty happy with my results.

I was in awe on how fast some of the riders were. But in the home stretch I did pass some riders myself going pretty fast so everything is relative!

Who was the guy wearing the tuxedo shirt? Was it somebody here?
