HPG Sox Arrive at Peet’s…I feel faster already…
Well, they made it. Finally. They will make us all faster I’m sure. Kudos to Eric for putting up with all of us. No good deed goes unpunished. Nothing like a little Peet’s Coffee to make your sox small better.
2014 “Pulled Pork” Dover Team Time Trial
The HPG fielded 2 teams this year and, in classic HPG for as of this writing both teams were disqualified for only sending 5 riders each off the line… Aside from that however a grand time was had by all. Douglas and his bride out did themselves with a phenomenal after party. Looking forward to next year already.

Walter Haywood Returns!
It’s always a pleasure when Walter returns. Since moving to Florida almost a decade ago we only see him on special occasions. Thanks to Steve and Nancy for hosting our reunion!

The Sun Always Shines in Wellesley…
…but pedal ones way out of town on a saturday morning in late spring and all bets are off. Today’s debut ride for the spanking new HPG kits planned for Hollis turned into an aborted Carlisle mission when the rubber side went up. All got home safe and sound though and lived to fight another day….oh and the sun was still shining in Wellesley sans pluie
2008 B2B – Eric Cohen
Waiting for those ride reports. From what I could see, we had a strong showing with riders looking strong up to the point I left at mile 63 atop the hill in Ridge, NH.
The day got off to a confused start when some of us decided to ride with Sean who realized that he was the Captain of the 17mph group, and not the 18. So before we left with Sean, we made a frantic search for Steve Cutter and Rich Benner. Couldn¹t find either, but we left anyways. Nice, huh?
Steve figured it out and chased us down. I never did see Rich again. Giuseppewas itching to ride hard, and most of us resisted. So we got dropped around mile 59. I could see Giuseppe¹s red outfit off in the distance when I turned around. I had a great ride, making it home by 1:45p in plenty of time for my daughters recitals. I¹m glad I was home for them. 125miles even.
I realized how amazing beneficial it is to drink plain water at the end and pour some of it on the back of your head and neck. It cooled me right down and let me cruise in the last 20 miles feeling like new (well, not totally new). Why haven¹t I ever done this before. It was amazing. My low point was mile 90-105. Starting to overheat.
