Andy,

Beer and burgers sounds wonderful.

I enjoyed the ride. I have to second Todd’s comment about respect for the racers. I cannot imagine racing across that stuff.

A Berea ride is beginning to take shape in my mind. Two routes are under consideration. One is hilly. The other is more hilly. Both are excellent.

I was thinking that beer and burgers in the yard would be appropriate afterward.

Michael,

Bad weather seems to be a hallmark of the RCCS ride. All but one were either wet, or cold, or both.

It adds to the character of the ride.

I’m a lame-ass that didn’t show. I was just bitter it was my only day off and it had to rain.

Sounds like it was a good adventure. Looking forward to the next one.

I had been planning to come with my sister; it looked like a really fun idea.

But I’m still trying to get my bikes in reasonably good repair from the winter, and rain is still a bad idea until I get my brakes replaced.

I hope y’all do this again, tho!

Thanks, had fun.

My two favorite parts:

-The “real” cobbles. They gave me a whole new appreciation for the superhuman Roubaix riders.

-The one alley section that was that had one small bump after another. There was no way to even think about sitting down on that one.

Wow, what a ride! Great job planning the route, and I’m glad everyone made it home (relatively) safely.

Oh,and 20 miles of that kind of insanity is plenty …
