Planning a Race.

The good folks at rapha are known for epic rides and expensive clothing. Here is a video of a "Gentlemen/women race". The idea is similar to that of a messenger alleycat race so far as that it is unsanctioned, marshaled, and there is no set route. The difference is that the "gentlemen race" covers over a hundred miles of varying terrain. Vermont is an ideal location for such an event given the brutal mountain climbs, the dirt roads, and the beautiful valley roads. Here at the Old Spokes Home we are in the process of planning such a race, ideally for the end of October, and would like to invite everyone to form teams and await details! For now check out this video of the Rapha Gentlemen's Race from Mt. Hood to Portland Oregon.
