Another addition of The Tour of The Battenkill has come and gone in a blustery fashion. I managed to finish in the lead group. I had the opportunity to go with the winning move and elected not to (read my excuse as Uncle Jerry's favorite excuse, "Sorry guys, I suck!"), erring on the side of caution. Hindsight on these things is always 20/20 though, even if your hindsight lies. Cruikshank and Drew also did roughly the same front 3rd of the pack finishes. So all in all for results, it was a mediocre weekend.
The course this year was the same as last year. More of a Flanders style rolling hilled extravaganza than a flat Roubaix. Since Napoleon didn't do us the grace of marching across North America and building cobble roads, the (un)pave sections were half packed dirt farm roads. These were probably a little less sketchy than pave, but probably near as much fun. This year served up a nice dose of 38mph wind gusts that really made the course feel "Belgian".
That's all for now, I will post more about the housing "situation" and some pictures later.
