Tues/Thur Bike

Leaving from Hoboken Ferry at 540am.  It is a bit dark in the morning so you may want to bring a blinking light.  Ride of approx 20 miles, maybe some repeats, maybe not.  Get out there before it warms-up!

Tuesday/Thursday Ride

Tuesday and Thursday morning rides starting at 5:40 from Hoboken 14th street ferry into the park in Fort Lee with either hill repeats or ride to the first big hill and back. Back in Hoboken at 7am, ~20 mlies. I heard it’ll rain in the afternoons so we should be lucky to avoid the rain in the morning.

At NYC Tri Will Reagan won his age group in 2:05 and Lauren Wiest took 2nd in hers in 2:38!  We had a ton of finishers that killed the course (most of the fish were already dead though).  Brian Wiest in 2:14, Dave Calabrese in 2:27, Marcus Wignell in 2:29, Dave Pietrangelo in 2:31, Scott Burns in 2:41, Scott Placona in 2:58.  Dave Cruz won the brother battle in 2:17 over Dan in 2:27.
