Hi Tom,

Thanks for your comments! I must say the ACP 200K was my favorite route in PA so far. Not only challenging, but also scenic. Hopefully riding in the cold weather will make the spring (if there is such a thing) and summer events the more enjoyable.

Juan,Nice pictures! I agree with you that the shot...

Juan,

Nice pictures! I agree with you that the shot you took along Red Cliff Rd is the best. That stretch of road is one of my favorites -- it's particularly nice in the late afternoon with the fading sunlight filtering through the trees.

Congratulations, on another excellent finish, and keep those ride reports coming!

Regards,

Hi Ron,

I was sad to hear that you guys had a mechanical. In retrospect, it was probably better earlier than later.

See you and Barbara in May!

Hi Jack,

Thanks! Yeah, after I ate at the finish I took Rick's Bianchi Milano for a spin near the hostel. I was riding along the path we took on our way out, but I decided to turn around.

Nice seeing you at another start. I really liked your bike setup too!

Juan,
Nice ride report and photos... Congrats on your first-in finish with Nate - impressive riding in tough conditions. Barbara and I had a truly disappointing day, as we suffered our first ever DNF only 3 miles into the ride - mechanical trouble with the Burley. Though, after watching your video of the Delaware River crossing w/ Nate, perhaps I don't feel so bad about missing out on the day! The long bike would have been a real handful in the "epic" windy conditions... Congrats to all who finished, especially Joe Carbone with a gutsy 17 hour ride. Barb and I will be back in May at the PA300k looking to redeem ourselves...
