Picture of the weekThere are only so many pictures of Arthur Pitcher any of us want to see so we'll take a little break and give you two shots of the recent epic ride undertaken by M. Bolton, G. Goudge, J. Amaral, S. Parker and C. Faria in the Catskill Mountains of New York. We would have shown you more but most snap shots were of the boys watering the bushes. Anyway, the first shot shows that Chris won the traditional "Sprint To #45" and the second one might give some insight into how tough 80 miles can be with some serious climbing. Oh, that might have been before they started. Want details? Ask the boys.
If you want to submit a picture or two for the next newsletter then please forward the image to newsletter@bermudabicycle.org. |
