CRW Needham-Sherborn - January 2012

click any image to enlarge

After a brief warm-up (ha!) from Eli, a couple on an impressive Co-motion tandem with disc brakes and a belt drive connecting the front and rear cranks led us out of the Cutler Park lot. The route more or less followed the old CRW Saturday Morning Fitness Ride (SMFR) route.

The outbound part of the route put us square into a 10-15 mile headwind. As the third photo above shows*, however, I was well prepared. Three of us--Ron, Tom, and I--formed a group relatively early on and finished the 28 miles at an average speed of 16.6 mph.
