Across the USA - Over 1 million pedal strokes in 42 days - congratulations Ken Nickerson!

A huge congratulations goes out to Ken Nickerson for completing the Trek Cross Country USA Bike Tour!  From Ken's Blog..."If I include my rest day rides and the initial rides in Santa Barbara, I rode 3570 miles in 220 hours at an average speed of 16.2 mph. (I am a numbers guy, so I record these things.) Since my average cadence is just about 80 rpm, that means I likely pedaled slightly over 1 million strokes."  WOW!

Ken Nickerson Crushes 400K Brevet in Record Time

Ken Nickerson set out on his first Brevet (Boston 400k, New England Randonneurs) on June 8th 2019.  He wasn't exactly sure what to expect and was planning to take it at a comfortable pace to finish in under 20 hours.  Then he found himself in the front group of 5 riders moving along at what felt like an OK pace.  He explained to his Coach, Karen Mackin, that it was just a little faster than he had planned, but it was nicer to ride with the group than solo.  So he went along with them... ALL the way to the finish!  He said, "Somehow I was able to stay with the fastest 5 other riders. My legs were shaking at the end and I could barely stand, but I managed not to get dropped."  The group set a course record of 13:50 hours!  What a ride!

Congratulations to Laura Conway for her 2nd Place Age Group finish at the Harvest Olympic Triathlon in Wareham, MA on June 8th, 2019.  Laura did a great job on a steady lower variability bike split (1.04!).  This helped her to give a great strong final push in the run. Way to go Laura!
