After two years off for the pandemic, the JAM Fund’s major fundraising event, the Grand Fundo, is back for its eleventh year! It will take place on Saturday, July 23rd.
We are back! Mark your calendar for June 25th. Freshly paved and safe roads- finally! NCC members receive a discount to race. We need lots of volunteers- you volunteer, you race free! Click through for more details.
Today’s podium includes screaming times by Charles (first timer) and Jake and (5 minutes behind them) Joe. Great job guys! Only 2 PRs in our mob tonight, Henry W by a whopping 1:23 and Andy by 3 seconds. The wind was gentle out of the south and sometimes southeast so was a minor factor.
The weather was ideal. It was around 70 degrees with low humidity and a gentle breeze. We could not have asked for better conditions, although Sean did request that I raise the temperature a bit.
The first Monday Night Intro ride of the 2022 season took eight riders on a 17-mile loop through Hadley.
The inaugural women’s and non- binary gravel ride was today!
To avoid the predicted temperatures in the high 90s, we started our ride at 8 AM, opposed to the regular 9 AM. We had ten riders in the C group this morning.
Hot today? Nope. The weather forecast all week for today was like “danger, danger, heat index 191 degrees,”, blah blah blah. So, we decided to move ride start times an hour early. Although a good call, the weather forecast once again was wrong. The B ride went east to Wendell.
After a few years hiatus, local mobile bicycle shop Speed and Sprocket Cycle Works is bringing the Ciclismo Classico Bike Travel Film Festival back to the Pioneer Valley!
Despite brief periods of rain earlier in the day, the roads were dry and the sun was out. In fact, it was a gorgeous evening. The only challenge was the tremendous headwind!
