Last Saturday I rode in the Metamora 4 X 50 mile race which turned into 4 X 52.5 mile loops due to road construction. This was the first of 5 major rides I plan on doing in the next 7 weeks. One race down, four to go. John Schlitter, Bryce Walsh, Brian McEwen and myself all worked well together to finish ahead of the field in 9 hours 27 minutes of elasped time for the 210 miles, 22.2 mph ave. Larry Fritz also finished with the same time. Next up for me is a East-West-East double crossing of Illinois on Friday, August 15. Around 310 miles.
The 22.2 mph was a record for the race. The old record was a 21.25 mph ave by Bill Ford, Wesley Wilmer and myself set in 2006.
One race down, One record.
Four more rides to go.
Aug 15, Il E-W-E, 310 miles
Aug 30, Midwest 24 hour, 400+ miles?
Sept 10, Last Chance 1200 KM(750 miles)
Sept 25, Tejas 500, 25-20 mile loops in Texas.
Hopefully a few more records.
