Back on October 18th, Cadence was sponsoring this charity ride from their Manhattan shop with cycling legend George Hincapie. I figured it would be a great idea to get the boys from Greenbrook Racing to go. The thing I didn't realize was that the cost was $200 per person. I figured it was going to his charity what the hell. Fugured it would be a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to ride with the man. Let's do it.
Since the four of us are coming from separate directions, we aggreed to meet in Manhattan at 8am. The ride was scheduled to shove off at 8:30. Hincapie arrives with his entourage about 8:30. After some intros & pics, we leave. The ride was from the shop, up to Nyack and back. 55 miles of some flats & rollers. I happen to know the ride well. Very seenic. nice ride up the the Rustible Spoon in Nyack (a roadie cofee shop). We hung out for some free coffee and...thanks Joe... and then we said let's head back before the rest. That's all I wanted to here...Let the ass kicking commence!!
To be continued...
