Hours before 50,000 runners line up to tackle the NYC marathon and crush, cyclists from the area congregate in Bay Ridge to ride the famed course as it closes to traffic.

Looking back at the summer that was for TBD

I’ve always wondered how I’d fare in one of these big gravel races and particularly at SBT. It’s a punishing course but, as they say, it’s a “roadie’s” course— largely, smooth roads and not technical. If you’re good at putting your head down and burying yourself for hours, you might do well here. I suppose that’s the promise these events deal in— the prospect of testing yourself on a level playing field against the very best in the discipline.
