Climb to Clouds century

Here are some photos of the crew at the Climb to Clouds Century.  The century was a ride to the top of Mount Wachusett.  The CRW runs this century.  It has about 6,000 feet of climbing in 100 miles.  The climb to Mount Wachusetts is about 4 miles of hard climbing.

In this picture Wes is on the return to the start.

Mount Wachusett is one of the highest peaks in the eastern region of Massachusetts.  The tallest is Mount Greylock(you can pedal up that one). It hosts a ski resort during the winter.  The area is famous with hikers as well.

Here are Vito and Linda on the ascent of the mountain.20160717_103902 Here is Greg Buckley on the ascent.20160717_103541

Members found the course to have some challenges. The wind was unique to the course. The crosswind across the hay field slowed the direction of travel in both directions. The course was mostly north and south on one road.

The temperature was close to 90 Degrees. The humidity level was approximately 90%. This would also slow speeds. The higher humidity level increases air resistance.

In August we will try for a Time Trial on the Box in Middleboro, which is Precint, Thompson, Summer, and Plain streets.

Thanks for coming! I appreciate everyone’s hard work.20160722_185926

Club Time Trial on Friday 07-22

FREE EVENT !  All club members are welcome to try.  You don’t have to be a racer.  It is you against your own personal record.

Hoping to make this an annual event! The plan is to have people park at the Halifax Town Hall(499 Plymouth Street Halifax) or the school. From there it is a short ride west to Thompson St. You race down the entire length of Fuller St and turn around and race back. It is you against the clock.

Try to set your PERSONAL RECORD. There will be no drafting. Think of USAC Time Trial rules, but racing side by side and crashes. The fastest person is the 2016 Time Trial Club Champion.

I will be stationed at the start of Thompon Street with the stopwatch.  People would start at their designated time. Simply ride to the start and be ready to make a flying start at your start time.  See the list below for your starting time.  Email (n1ey@comcast.net) or call Bill to get your start time.

The race is an out and back course on Thompson St.  Much of the course features decent pavement. A good stretch in Middleboro has been repaved.

It is 12 miles R/T.

Course Description:
From the start at Route 106 in Halifax to Togoland it is 6 miles. You would turn around at Togoland and ride back to the Route 106 for complete 12 miles. The name of the street is Thompson Street. We ride the complete length of the street and return.

Parking:
Halifax Town Hall 499 Plymouth Street Halifax

After the race we would head to Lyonville Tavern for 7 PM dinner and appetizers.
