Macabre Mar 25

Eighty degrees?! Directly from winter to summer, no spring weather here.

Almost all the usual Macabre riders were at the big local race in Gainesville. This was Theron's comeback after three weeks on the "injured reserve" list. Jim only recently mastered this ride and had a good day in the saddle. 54 miles @ 2:41 = 20.1 avg


Theron, Jim and Dan

As I said before , the real Macabre was at RR in Gainesville .

Due to cramps I finished ( but finished ! ) pedaling with left leg .
Ouch !

Impressive ride Wojtek! I haven't seen the results but I know there were about 60 starters and heard that about 50% were lost to attrition (DNF). That's a wicked course and only the best power-climbers have a chance to win everyone else is doing great just to survive.

You summerize the event just about the same like the crowd at the parking lot .

It was not the race against each other but against the elements and rather survival than a race .

My mission accomplished :
- I got an experience
- I did finish
- I was not the last
- I had a good workout

Hope it is downhill from here .( talking about hills )
