RTL - Qualification in Montreal
Hi all,
I'm back from my first day of qualification for Ride The Lobster. It was a great riding day, except for the hot wheater! I'll post details and pics soon, but meanwhile here is some stats: Total riding distance = 89.99 km Vertical distance = approx. 350 m Total riding time = 4h 25min Average speed = 20.37 km/h I hope tomorrow's going to be as succesful! -Vince |

Best of luck for day 2. I actually found day 2 not quite as hard as day 1 (but you pay for it on day 3!) so you should be ok Oh, and even more luck with the write up. It's almost 2 weeks now and I've not quite finished mine  STM |

That's awesome Vince!!! I should be in Nova Scotia for the event (not racing, but filming), and I think it's gonna be a pretty cool event.
Go Vince Go!!! A bientot. Tim |

Thanks for cheering!
I made it!  Day 1 : Total riding distance = 89.99 km Vertical distance = approx. 350 m Total riding time = 4h 25min Average speed = 20.37 km/h Day 2 : Total riding distance = 87.89 km Vertical distance = at least 200 m Total riding time = 4h 45min Average speed = 18.52 km/h I can say that today was harder than yesterday. I had a good head wind for 50k, and it gave me a hard time! Full right up coming this week. -Vince |

Way to go, Vince.
I'll be attempting a 50 miler today (this one) and I'll see for sure if I really want to do this. I'll be using you as my inspiration. "What would Vince do?" Then me, Roland, and this new Albany rider Perry, have to do the RTL qualifier eventually.

Good luck Steve!
I think the only challenge you may encounter in a race like that, is not having enought elevation gain! (pfft only 2000 feet  )Will you be on your 29''? |
