Just saw that Quabbin has 106 (!) riders reg'd for the 4s. That's more than I've seen or raced against. I guess there might be more chances for splits to happen, and plenty of shelter to go around.

Anyone doing Tour de Millersburg? Seems like a Cielo repeat, but less hilly/shorter TT, and maybe a nastier "climb" in the circuit. I'm certainly tempted. Dog care decides.
