WOODS RIDE!

Hello Gang!

Sorry for the short notice, but we will return to Robinson tonight.  Meet at the church parking lot at 5:30pm to roll into the woods around 6pm.  Call the EL shop with any questions 413.737.7495.

Next week we'll head to Earl's for something new.  We'll touch base next week with more details.

Hope to see you all tonight!

-CEC Crew

Ladies, I've missed you!!!

Wow!  I can't believe it has been 3 weeks since I've seen you all.  A HUGE thanks again and again to Allison and Christin for keeping the riding happening, and to all of you for coming for the ride!  I'm really excited for tomorrow to see you all again and put a little over 30 miles under our Wednesday night belt.  With what looks like to be a warm and sunny evening, I think there will be no trouble tackling this route.  If you would like to check it out ahead of time, click HeRe!

Remember lots of water, sunblock and a snack or two.  Restful evening to you all, and I'll see you tomorrow!

-Jen

MONDAY'S RIDES! 07/09/2012

Hi all our cycling friends!  Hope your weekend was filled with plenty of miles and hours of watching the Tour.  Here are the plans...





Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Root 66 Series Race #8: Windham

Comp Edge raced a world class course this past weekend, at the 8th Root 66 race in Windham, NY.  The day before, the Pros took on the same course during the 8th UCI World Cup. 

"It was different than Pats Peak because it was more consistent... climbs were gradual fire road climbs with a couple single track short climbs.  You could really just get in a rhythm climbing. The descents were wicked fast and fun...can't wait to do it again next year. The fan turnout was awesome! We also hung out and watched the men's WC DH final Sunday afternoon... they are so FAST!"      -Tina, 1st place Cat 1 women

Root 66 Series Race #7: Grafton Ponds

With a different venue and unchristened course, Putney transformed into something entirely new this year - the 1st Ever West Hill Shop/Grafton Ponds MTB Race.  'Woof' became 'Wow'.  A bluebird day in Vermont with dry air, green mountainous scenery, and a killer course made Grafton Ponds one to remember.   The course was dry, rideable, and extremely fun.

Comp Edge again brought the heat, with fourteen entries and nine top five finishes. Go, team!

"For a course that was noted as "easy," I think it snuck up on you because everything was so rideable – making you push that much harder.  Nice push, Team!"  -Pam
