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

Tuesday the 27th

 Just when you thought it was done, it Ain't!

The ride moved to 5:30 PM for the night. Unfortunately a couple of guys showed up at 6 PM and were left wondering what could have been. Call or txt Chris C and let him know your feeling on the subject. His phone number is 860- (no just kidding we would never do that)

The short loop is proving to be shorter but not easier. Tons of attacks and chasing guys down tonight. Nobody wants to miss out and everyone is looking to capitalize on the efforts of others in hopes to counter attack while they're gasping for air. Little T attacked on the second half of the Cheshire St hill climb in hopes to surprise the usual suspects. He was quickly joined by Dan S and Steve B. Dan jumped just past the light. Steve B put in a dig to catch, then faked em out with an in-the saddle sprint which prompted Dan S to go again. Little T responded, and jumped on Dan's wheel and was able to hold off Steve B.
 
That was the most exciting part of an exciting night! Heading back into Hamden, there were more small attacks but nothing stuck. Dan S tried to get away to no avail and T took the final sprint as SGR  commingled with the New Haven Bike Club in the run in to the finale making things a little bit interesting. 

Next week?

If anyone is looking for a zwift alternative you might want to check out Free Group Ride. I haven't tried the group option but you can host an event and ride with up to 10 others.
