New Course

I heard there's a new course that takes us on Rt. 73 for quite sometime. Is this permanant? Isn't 73 dangerous?

limnkiln road is freshly tar and chipped.

i came up with a new course with similarities to the derby; we head out at an easy tempo pace until the turn around, which happens to be just west of boyertown on route 73, [ 73 has a paved shoulder ].

73 west and the route then turns right onto hoch, then left on water street and the sprint line is the 35 MPH speed limit sign before the stop sign at stitzer. the new route is actually safer since we don't have blind intersections to contend with.

some guys, i won't mention names, can't ride easy tempo and missed the fun part of the ride back to the sprint.

No more 40 mph drafts from Ryan. Dam. I'm game for a new loop.

73 starts with a long climb, and then a fast dfecent where you can reach 40+. i spun out the 53x12 on my TT bike.
