New Sponsor for the event: Ocean Velo Club (OVC) is a small USCF road racing club out of Salisbury,
MD. Primary a loose group of Masters, there are about a dozen active members. Riding out of
Bikesport (www.rmbikes.com) at 1013 South Salisbury Boulevard near the University, OVC
rides many of the same roads as the Seagull Century. There is a Tuesday evening 40-mile
hammerfest from April 'till October through the quiet asphalt roads of the Pocomoke Forest.
Anyone wishing to join the Tuesday night ride should contact Bikesport to confirm departure
time & weather.

Thanks, Andrew Albright
p.s. I rode 1hr to work today, and 1 hr home. first exercise since Early Dec. I've gotten fat and
out-of-shape. How much more training do I have to do, to become a good-rbrish Masters racer?

 

Unless South Carolina has picked up and moved west, their Patriot Trail race, near Rock Hill, at 110
miles, scheduled for this Sunday, exceeds your "longest" east coast RR distance. There was a 125
mile RR in FL last month, too. Maybe your race is the longest early April, Mid-Atlantic training
road race? Greg

Dear BikeRecker,

Florida and South Carolina are in the SOUTH. You're geography is good enough to put you on the NCAA
selection committee

It is that too. It is all things to all people.

Thanks, -A

Remember all that training you were doing at your peak? That wasn't enough.

You're welcome, Bret

I'm fairly certain that Seaford is below the Mason-Dixon line, which means it's both on the East
Coast and in the South. Enjoy hours of Google searching to find out...

It is below part of the line, but it is on the Eastern side of it (Mason-Dixon line runs north and
south in Delaware.

The road race course in fact travels right next to it, on that map it is the yellow dashed line on
the far left. apparently, there are some historic markers along the course, so if you get dropped
you can stop and check out part of history.

Actually, the Mason-Dixon line was made to shore up a border dispute between the Calverts (Maryland)
and Penns (Pennsylvania)

There will be an open book quiz at the end of the road race on Sunday.

 

Mason Dixon line....

Ok, I am studying for the test.

Please tell the rain gods to clear up the skies before 12:30pm on Saturday for me.

Thanks,

Call me silly and all, but isn't South Carolina on the East Coast and in the South? And the same for
Florida? Since both states touch the Atlantic ocean, they qualify for East Coast status.
