2016 fleche write-up: 2016_fleche
247 miles in 24 hours.
Fleche is a very fun form of randonneuring. I love the team aspect and look forward to another opportunity at a fleche in the future.
This year's fleche was nothing compared to the 22hrs of constant rain, a couple mechanicals, and a spill on railroad tracks last year fed us. This year was almost dream conditions. We had great tailwinds for almost the entire route. Cruising long straight roads for what seemed like hours keeping an easy pace of 20mph was stuff out of stories. The bike gods were re-paying us for putting us through Malebolge last year. It was such an event free ride there are no great stories to attribute to it. I ride without stories is just a ride.
