I got the email too. If they postpone it to July I'm in

 

[mwlikesbikes]

Pretty sure I do as well...I saw no details on how that will be redeemed. Any idea?

You should’ve gotten an email with a credit code. Search your inbox for an email from Kermesse sport, mine is dated from 8/21/20

Im Flynn and will have way too much bike but oh well.

I love the course, but will be away for the event. I'll probably be riding the course at least 2 random times this year.

 

[Patrick]

I forgot I had the credit!
Thanks.

Can’t make this one either would have been a good primer for Lu Lacka.

Would be interested to ride it at some point later this season with a small group if anyone plans something.

Road bike on 25s ok?

Road bike on 25s ok?

It's like 80% road now so you'll be fine except for the few spots where you'll die.

Yes, just a tire that isn’t super delicate. There is really only one spot that is rough and I actually need to check to see if they still included it.

I always use gatorskins. I flatted at battenkill on tubulars, never playing tire roulette again.

So you are in luck, they took out the worse section, which was at the bottom of Hunter Road, which was an old farm road. It really wasn’t that bad. Mercer county closed this to the public and a bridge is out. Also, they have you going down the the steepest dirt section, Berry Road (which was always up). So gatorskin should be fine.

I’ve done this event 4-5 times on a road bike with 25s and been fine. I prefer the gatorskins for this event each time.

If @stb222 is right and they took out that death downhill section you should be good.

 

[Patrick]

In. 25 gatorskins. Since they have zero additional miles from last year.

I couldn't get my coupon code to work. Hmmm

FWIW, that section was awesome to hammer at full speed

Climbs look steep from the profile. Might have to throw on the compact crankset.

What do you run now? There are very few steep climbs on this route, the top of rileyville, pine road and the top of Wilson, hopewell
Amwell road and the small ramp at the top of Lindbergh. Pine road is probably the worst at maybe 13%. All in all, there isn’t much hell on the course as they go around the hardest stuff.

Standard road gearing 53/39 with 11-25 cassette. But I have a compact crankset buried somewhere.

I just looked at the elevation profile and it looked steep on paper.

Profiles always look worse than they really are.
