Congrats on day 1. Just from the stats it sounds like it's been a good
day so far.

Best of luck for day 2. I actually found day 2 not quite as hard as
day 1 (but you pay for it on day 3!) so you should be ok

Oh, and even more luck with the write up. It's almost 2 weeks now and
I've not quite finished mine :o

That's awesome Vince!!! I should be in Nova Scotia for the event (not
racing, but filming), and I think it's gonna be a pretty cool event.

Go Vince Go!!!

A bientot.

Hi all,

I'm back from my first day of qualification for 'Ride The Lobster'
(http://www.ridethelobster.com/).
It was a great riding day, except for the hot wheater!
I'll post details and pics soon, but meanwhile here is some stats:

Total riding distance = 89.99 km
Vertical distance = approx. 350 m
Total riding time = 4h 25min
Average speed = 20.37 km/h

I hope tomorrow's going to be as succesful!

-Vince

Yeah Vince! You go boy!

Thanks for cheering!
I made it! 🙂

Day 1 :
Total riding distance = 89.99 km
Vertical distance = approx. 350 m
Total riding time = 4h 25min
Average speed = 20.37 km/h

Day 2 :
Total riding distance = 87.89 km
Vertical distance = at least 200 m
Total riding time = 4h 45min
Average speed = 18.52 km/h

I can say that today was harder than yesterday. I had a good head wind
for 50k, and it gave me a hard time!

Full right up coming this week.

-Vince

come on the rest of you, don't leave it too late!

STM - looking forward to the write up

Way to go, Vince.

I'll be attempting a 50 miler today ('this one'
(http://www.evansale.com/tour_de_habitat_2007.html)) and I'll see for
sure if I _really_ want to do this. I'll be using you as my
inspiration. "What would Vince do?"

Then me, Roland, and this new Albany rider Perry, have to do the RTL
qualifier eventually.

Good luck Steve!

I think the only challenge *you* may encounter in a race like that, is
not having enought elevation gain! (pfft only 2000 feet🙄 )

Will you be on your 29''?

Nope - I did it on my Radial 36er w125mm cranks. I'll post about the
ride in a separate thread.
