This morning, my coffee is infused with fresh, creamy chocolate milk from the Battenkill Valley Creamery. My Gran Fondo winning time of 3:32:17 would also have put me in the top spot the day before in my category. It was a tiny bit faster than my pace in 2011. It was cold, there was a bit of freezing rain, but the dirt was perfect. As always, it's a difficult race, but so much fun to be there with all my friends. Dieter Drake and his crew surely know how to put on a great event. The best part is that I got to race with Victor! Don't get me wrong, I love racing in the women's peleton, but any day I get to ride with Victor is a joy. We have completed the 200km and 300km qualifiers for the Endless Mountains 1240km- Victor has promised to guest blog about our randonneuring adventures, so stay tuned.
This spring I also had great time racing with my teammate Bari Wood at Bethel and look forward to more races with her and my other teammates coming up.
