Marathon Monday
Written by Boston Biker on Apr 20So I just got back from a great 70+ mile ride. Did the old out and back route for the marathon, and boy howdy was it fun. I highly recommend everyone do this with me next year. For those of you not in the know, you get up at the butt crack of dawn, meet some place in Boston, ride out, turn around and sprint back!
Basically the elite wheelchair men are fast as hell, and you have to stay ahead of them or you get kicked off the course, easy enough to do if you leave Boston around 6:30. Heartbreak hill is still full of heartbreak cause by that point your are like 50 miles in and it sucks…but you know thats what the gear shifter is for…unless you did it fixed like some of my friends did…insane.
So I am pretty tired, I am going to go eat some ice cream, happy marathon day everyone!

That’s awesome. I can’t imagine doing that with fixed gear, I was in old man gears trying to climb the last hill up to Hopkington. Congrats!
