It was a cool and sunny morning in Sodus for the event. Temperature was about 53 F. at 9:15 just before my start time. The event was small, but well organized. The course was very smooth with only a few small climbs to deal with. It was an “out and back” as well, which was nice since you could sort-of see where you stood with the competition before the turn around. The wind was light early and picked up to about 9 MPH out of the South West. It helped because the course took you mainly south first, then north to finish. I used a normal road bike with clip on aero bars and placed 9th out of 9 in Cat 5 men. Average speed for the 20K was: 21.56 with a time of 34:34.4. If I had taken off the aero bars and ridden the “Eddie Merckx” class I would have placed about 4th. Maybe next year…. One added bonus was a free pint glass just for participation! A nice event that I would highly recommend.
Thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors!!
