New Years Nutty Ride: A Vermont Winter Double Century

Спорт

Two years ago I started the tradition of riding something mega. That year was the 200 on 100. Last year was my first and only Everest. This year, a mere lap of the lake. Lake Champlain that is. 200 miles door to door, there's no time like the present to see if I still have a double century in my legs!
The Set Up:
‪@CannondaleBicycles71‬ Synapse
‪@SRAM‬ eTap AXS 2x
Zipp Firecrest 303
‪@ReneHerseCycles‬ Bon Jon 700x35
‪@moosepacks‬ handlebar and stem bags
LOADS of ‪@untappedmaple‬!
‪@velocioapparel‬ Thermal bibs, thermal long sleeve, Merino Mesh SS base layer, Alpha Glove, Signature Reflective bootie.

    I did my first (and only) dbl. Century on my 63 birthday last year. As far as cardio goes, I had a bit left in the tank. My knees, excruciating pain!!! At about 175 miles, my knees were SCREAMING at me!! Unbelievable pain, but thankfully not permanent. Proud that I did it, but once was enough.

    Fellow Vermonter here, feeling like I didn' know if I wanted to drop Enduro riding and take up Gravel this season with a little girl now in our lives...and I gotta say Ted, you've changed my mind. Wish I could push training for the Rooted race, but maybe in 2024.

    Looking forward to what ‘big mile aspirations’ you have in 2023. Really enjoy watching, listening to your stuff and especially appreciate that you try out a lot of new ideas rather than following what everyone else is doing. We also enjoy hearing/seeing how you manage family and have a balanced life. When we are on long road trips, your podcast is the only sports-related one my wife agrees on listening to b/c as she says….”I like that guy”.

    I have the same fenders but have found that those rubber straps for mounting are a hassle and break when cold. My solution is to use all those Garmin mounting O-rings that you get when you purchase a head unit. Much cleaner looking that all that rubber strap hanging off the fork and seat stay.

    Nice ride but the cold....and solo. Way to go. Have you done a video on what you wear on this freezing rides? Have you ever done LOTOJA? 200 miles from Utah to WY in September. Salt to Saint in Utah... RAAM solo or a team? And poor Semi. Was it windy? How cold it got? Love your videos.
