Before I call, has anyone checked to see if this one is on this weekend (3/28)??? Chip | |||||
2487.2 | FUTILE ++ | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | Wed Mar 24 1993 07:53 | 7 | |
Well, I called Bob Perry last night and got an answering machine. Given the current disgusting situation, I'll default on another call and assume the Gill Race is dead (in the snow). Just give me 1 minute with Mother Nature... Just one minute... Chip | |||||
2487.3 | Gill Race | CARTUN::VINCENT | Mon Mar 29 1993 14:34 | 16 | |
A friend and I did the Gill race on Sunday. The roads were dry, a bit of sand on one corner. The rain held off until 30 seconds after the finish of our race - Public "C" 21 miles, 2 times around a 10.6 mile loop. EVERYONE (including me) has forgot how to ride in a pack and it was a miracle that there were no crashes! I raced this course last October, but I didn't remember the hills being as big as they were yesterday. Guess a couple of months sitting on the couch will do that to you. I got caught sleeping at the end of the 1st lap and missed a break of 10 riders. I chased with another guy and we caught them a 1/2 mile later. Several people took turns attacking on the hills, but nobody got dropped. Race ended in a 12 man sprint with enough bobbing/weaving/swerving to make it "interesting". |
