Sunday is recovery day.  www.soldierridethehamptons.com/eventdetails.cfmIf you are available Monday, Tues or any day during the week it is better.

Any tips for us fully rigid riders? DH40 race course is a single speed and fully rigid friendly. My only tip is to have fun and enjoy the event. I'm sure it will be torture for all of us riding 40 miles but finishing the race or even doing just 20 miles is a big accomplishment. Oh yeah and having an ice cold cervezas and BBQ after a long race in hot summer day is PRICELESS. ;D I will see you on Sunday Greg. |

Me and my friend Phil did another pre-ride today and it was nice and cool 87*F! I think we are in for a treat on Sunday. Just an FYI if you guys wants to pre-ride, the race course is 99.9 percent marked.  NOTE: Everyone who did the first pre-ride, there were slight modifications on the race course. They eliminated the steep drop and added some detours here and there. I should have the file in my GPS which I will upload soon. Overall, it is a much flowing safer course. |
