Sunday, June 7 - A group of PHATs & PHAT PHriends took on the King of the Quabbin metric century. A challenging ride in the area of the Quabbin Reservoir. Although you never see the reservoir on metric century loop. The ride is hosted by the 7 Hills Wheelmen.
It was fabulous day to ride. The weather could not have been better. Not too hot. Quite a bit of tree cover, so the sun was not over bearing. The ride starts with 2 mile decent then is relatively flat for another 8 miles. We averaged 19+ MPH for the first 10 miles. That quickly dropped when we hit the first hill. We stayed as a group throughout the ride. Stopping every so often to regroup. We did "loose" Joy or should I say she dropped us. Unfortunately she missed a turn but still finished the ride 15- 20 before the group. She was still smiling when we finished.
The ride turned out to be 60 miles, with an average speed of 15+ MPH and roughly 4,000 ft of climbing. (Maryellen smiled her way up every one of them. )
Have a good week.
