Second trip to the ECCC for the Spring. Right before exams, so perfect time to race bikes. Looks like we got a road race on the Saturday, and the hill climb TT and criterium on the Sunday. All the categories from intro to A for men, intro, C, and A/B women. Race info found here: http://collegiatecycling.org/eccc/wiki/uploads/Calendar/2013Road-Army.pdf
We will be leaving Friday night or afternoon (the 12th) and returning to Montreal on Sunday night.
Sign up if you are interested so we can plan numbers, and an email will be sent out either Friday or Saturday night.
Just had a look at the road race course and it’s running through Bear Mountain/Harriman State park. I’ve spent many a night there in my convertible and many days bird watching. Just some notes, Tiorati road is a little bit thin and bumpy on the sides, and we’re essentially going uphill from the palisades parkway. Seven Lakes drive, specifically from the roundabout until you pass Lake Tiroati gets pretty windy. Getting up to Lake Askoti, they just repaved the road last year and did some major roadwork so it should be really smooth. At the junction of County Road 106 and Seven lakes Drive, there’s a pretty tight roundabout again, but we’re going right around and continuing straight. Lake Welch pkwy, the start finish line, has us go back up again, but it’s a big downhill as we come back down to the start finish.
