Yesterday Thijs competed in his first ever bike race. It was the Gran Fondo in Hockely, TX, about 45 minutes north of Katy. It was a recommended ride to prepare for the BP MS 150 which he will be riding in two weeks time.
There was a choice of three distances, 47, 69 or 94 miles. Thijs and Edward opted for the 69 miles.
This was a view of the start at around 7.30 in the morning. There were around 1800 riders in the race.
The ride proved to be a good test for the MS150. Hills and head wind made for a tough day. However the guys made it to the finish, satisfied with their performance and declared to be ready for the big ride in two weeks!
Some stats for those of you keeping track....
