More riding with Eddie and Brad, this time starting at 3 AM to get in some night riding. Spooky at first as we were on some winding, narrow back roads and you couldn't see very far. Then things opened up and we got used to it, so the ride was actually enjoyable. Had Sandy driving the chase van right behind us with flashers, so didn't worry about other drivers coming up from behind. Traffic was very light. neat riding through Hanover and Gettysburg in the dark.

Eddie got a squirrel, I almost hit a rabbit -- must have been slowed down by the basket he was dragging.

With Brad and Eddie riding the raam course across SE PA. Ended up at Fair Hill, where we picked up Sandy as crew chief and rode part way back. Took turns so we each rode 2/3 of the way, the other third driving the chase van. Felt fine and made good time.

Got to Brad's and discovered my bike shoes were back in VT. So bought another pair (needed spares anyway), and then found the Performance bike shop didn't have cleats to match my Keo pedals. So then had to buy new pedals, too, which I didnt need. What a pain!

Gusty W wind knocking me around on bike. Nice tailwind going down the Black River, fierce headwind in a couple other spots.
10 mi splits 38/27/35/(16)

Calves and knees felt tired today. Will rest tomorrow for day/night training rides in PA this weekend with RAAM team.

VT 11 to Springfield, VT 10 to Gassets, VT 103 back to Chester. Windy from the S. Nice to have a tailwind coming back up the hill on 11 to home.

Ride E from Randolph Center, down steep hill with lousy surface, then N on VT 14 against a headwind, then W up long grade to Brookfield. Finally S along Ridge back to start. Lots of work and not a great ride. Even skipped the floating bridge across Sunset Lake at the top of the hill.
