Blueberry Loop Worlds

Tonight, Bill V3 V4 took on Bill V1 (10/14/08, finishing in 1:06:58) at the Blue Mountain Recreation Area on the berrypie course. Results!

Despite the darkness, Bill V3 V4 took off from the start and quickly built a lead, finishing in 1 hour and 1 minute, just missing the magic 1-hour mark. With 1762 feet of climbing over just 9.5 miles, that’s impressively quick. Bill V3 V4 believes the record will easily fall and sees sub-hour times in the future. When asked about his plans post-championship, he replied, “Off to bed.”

Tomorrow is the Thursday Night Rides year-end party. I’ll swing by GFS to pick up some olive oil, rosemary, and 2 loaves of Le Petit bread. It’ll be a good time, but it’s sad that it’s the last time I’ll see my friends until next summer.

This weekend is the state cyclocross championships. After that, I won’t see my teammates until next summer. The long, cold, lonely winter is bearing down, with snow in the forecast. Time to reconnect with the tele skiing crowd.
