Manhattan based KCC racers, if you can get there on time, you absolutely HAVE TO get out and race Rockleigh once or twice. It's so worth it.
Childcare will keep me home most Thursdays unfortunately, but when I get out there, I find it a beautiful evening. Good tempo warm-up ride to the course. An hour of racing hard (instead of intervals on a trainer), bucolic active recovery ride home past homes well over 100 years old, finishing up with a quick trip down 9W when it's mostly quiet.
Gwynna...you want to get some crit experience before your big event. Head on out to race the Bs! It might be tough to hang in, but you'll get better for sure!
Brendan...check it out. You are as close as me!
I mean, we don't have dollar vans, but you will get the occasional regional bus service blasting by to give you a wind tunnel burst.
