Race Watopia: Stage 3 – Two Bridges Loop (B)

This one went about as well as expected. Once more I misjudged the route. I checked it out last night in the app, and when I saw the curly loop around I, yet again, figured we were doing the full reverse Hilly KOM. But no. This one is the same route that starts at the … Read more

Lionel Sanders’ Yellow Day Workout in New York
