Recap – Days 1 and 2

We’ll get the riders to weigh in with their comments shortly but in the meantime here’s a quick recap of Days 1 and 2 this year’s Hack the Hat ride.

Day 1:
Riders = Zack Fasel, Tom Tufts, JP Bourget,
65mi starting in Hilliard, OH (Columbus) to downtown Dayton
Averaged 16.1mph Ride time was ~4hrs
Casualties = One flat tire

Day 2:
Riders = Bruce Potter, Zack Fasel, Tom Tufts, JP Bourget
Rode 74.1 miles from Dayton to Cincinnati
Averaged 15.1mph
Ride time was 4:53
Zero casualties, but did run into a bit of rain and one incredibly maladjusted rear derailleur (now fixed)

Overall spirits are up, bodies are sore, and the company is good. Tomorrow’s ride is the longest yet (and the longest ride some of our riders have ever undertaken).
