I'll be there with some of my Vonage friends. I am doing the 75 miler that goes towards the coast. I already rode 67 miles of this two weeks ago. Was pretty good ride.
 
I was going to ask the same question.....

I was thinking about doing this ride, but I haven't found anyone to join me yet. I'm toying with doing the 55 miler if I go solo or the 75 or 100 if I have someone to help motivate me 🙂

You can join me, i pace at 17mph and faster on downhill sections. I'll be with some peepz but them are slower so i'll break away. I have a blue/carbon Giant TCR 1 with a yellow GPS on the handlebars.

It's looking like the 75 miler will be the best option for me for tomorrow. I'll look out for you. I'll be the gal in the mtbnj kit riding the black and turquoise Cannondale Six 4. You may be a little fast for me though!

Tough though, lots of those long hills, not really a fast paced ride.

Actually, I found that ride to be fast. Compared to other centuries I've been in, I averaged a few mph higher on the Twin Lights. I would have done this ride today had I not just did the Escape New York ride yesterday. Talk about hills.

Great day, I was the guy with Xray jersey on with my Giant TRC1 road bike. Road 75 miles, avrg. speed 16 mph, moved past 2/3 rest stops and finished riding within 4 hours and 38 minutes.

Here is my GPS logged map:

At what time did you finish? I spotted only one other guy with a cam.

I would've preferred to do the Escape New York ride but on the 25th I celebrated my birthday. It fell in line with some carb loading I needed for sunday though!
