First races of the season have been running, so let’s hear about em. Any race or event, any place, celebrate or commiserate!

I presume Hayden McCormick won’t be posting in here after his Tour of Utah snafu… (Oh wait, that was yesterday’s stage! :woozy_face:)

nice work! a few guys I know and follow locally did it today as well, one guy got 1:18 and 2nd in the clydes and another 5th overall

well I just did the hardest ride of my life. I rode in the Gravel Worlds and it was a mixed bag. First half of the race was solid and pretty close to putting my within my goal, but the 2nd half was rough and my legs just weren’t producing power. I’m going to assume it’s nutrition related, even thoug…

Joined @pcort at Mount Washington. It was his first trip up the Rockpile but my third. My goal – and the focus of my training for 12 months – was to get under the 80 minute Top Notch cutoff. Last year I needed 93 minutes and change so my work was cut out. Shaving 13 minutes off a 7.5 mile course at …

Raced my first Expert/Cat 1 XCO today after moving up from Sport/Cat 2. Wasn’t expecting much, but was surprised to get 6th! I was a mere 0:40 seconds behind 4th place. More importantly, I beat my two frienemys who also moved up to Expert Cat with me. Started the race setting PBs from 0:49-2:01 …

[image] Bthoffma: Joined @pcort at Mount Washington Congrats to both of you @pcort and @Bthoffma ! I moved from Boston in '97 and started cycling after moving to CA. On visits back east, I have since thought doing the Tin Mountain climb (isn’t that what they call it?). It looks like you h…

[image] bobmac: It looks like you had relatively good weather - from what I have read, it can get really cold and really windy. Mount Washington is notoriously unpredictable but yes, the weather was pretty favorable. It was partly cloudy and warm at the bottom. We took a pretty good blast of …

29th out of 87 at my last park circuit race this season. Happy with that, especially since it was the fastest race (average 27 mph) I’ve ever done.

Had my “A” event a couple of weeks ago – a 60 mile road race in Northern Michigan with 3000+ feet of climbing in the form of short, but steep, hills. Many of them… I finished 13th overall out of 121, and 3rd in my age group (40-49) - this is easily my best result in this race, and I was super pump…

Nice. Did Steamboat Gravel yesterday. That was a blast. 1,500 people, amazing aid stations, water bottle and hat at the finish. Everyone was treated like a pro. So much more fun than a road race.
