A running account of the "race without an entry fee"..... The Tuesday night ride

Tuesday the 16th

Big Crowd... Mellow Pace

The turnout continues to increase bit by bit each week. There were close to 30 guys at the start this week, though once again, it dwindled down during the first half of the ride. Aaron B got the turnaround sprint by surging off the front from a ways back and holding it all the way.

Hunter P then attacked on Canal St, going underneath the highway. He got the gap and held it to light on Route 322. He got the green as Chris C was trying to bridge. He had to stop at the light, as did the entire pack. That was the ride. Hunter P stayed off the front for the rest of the way back into Hamden.

Back in the pack, Aaron B snuck off the front in the transition from the Hickory Hill Sprint to the backroads of East Cheshire. He rolled solo as well, and came close to closing the gap to Hunter P but the gap from the lights was too much to take back.
