Mt. Washington race underway NOW!

steveyo · 2005-08-20T12:13:02+00:00

Hi all - Right now, as of 7:55AM, three of our forum brethren are cranking their way to the top of Mt. Washington. Aspenmike from Aspen, CO, Ben Plotkin-Swing from Boston, and Joe Merrill from NYC are all humping their way up 7.6 miles, and climbing over 4700 vertical feet. Having done some smaller mtn climbs, I can tell you, the effort they're expending is HUGE. I can't wait to see how they do. Sending positive energy...go guys! -- steveyo - Last will be first steveyo "I complained I need new shoes, until I met a man with no feet." - unknown "Do whatever steps you want if you have cleared them with the pontiff"- Tom Lehrer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42735

Hi all -
Right now, as of 7:55AM, three of our forum brethren are cranking their
way to the top of Mt. Washington. Aspenmike from Aspen, CO, Ben
Plotkin-Swing from Boston, and Joe Merrill from NYC are all humping
their way up 7.6 miles, and climbing over 4700 vertical feet.
Having done some smaller mtn climbs, I can tell you, the effort they're
expending is HUGE.
I can't wait to see how they do.
Sending positive energy...go guys!

to some after action reports.

I don't have contact w/any of the racers.
Gawd! I'm dying for news about our uni boys.
Also curious if Tyler Hamilton or Ned Overend broke the two-wheel
record.

I thought that Tyler showing was a joke, rumor at the least. Isn't he
banned from racing? Or is that only proffesional competition.

Looks like Tyler Hamilton did make it. Glad to see he is riding. I
hope he can vindicate himself in September.
