Road Bike 1:10:00 [3] 20.0 mi (3:30 / mi)
Stafford to Manchester to watch the Manchester Road race. Road bike had a flat so I had to take my mountain bike which had not been ridden since Texas. After some quick maintenance I had to push hard to get there before the road was blocked by the runners. As I was getting closer I realized the route I was taking was not going to get me there in time so I improvised by getting on the highway for a bit then down the banking as it was passing over the road I needed. Made it by about 2 minutes.
12040 participants mashed onto 4.748 miles of road is quite a shock to see. I am used to 90 racers spread out over 100 miles of lakes and forest. But the band and crowds were awesome.
