A cold and windy day. But not that cold. It was almost above freezing at times. The sun almost came out. And there was no snow. Well, not much snow. So, basically, a nice day by Hope 2 New Hope standards.

Seven out of seven riders, including one prerider, all made it back to the warmth of Frank's Trattoria having bested the gods of winter, for a 100% finish rate. Congratulations and well done to all. Preliminary results have been
posted on the website.
Please review the results and let us know if something is not quite
right. The results will be submitted to RUSA after review and will
become official once certified.
Start volunteer and prerider Bob Dye made sure everyone knew what to expect. Finish volunteer Nigel Greene welcomed the finishers with warm pizza.

I was pleased to see that everyone made it to the finish in good time -- chapeau to the audacious randonneurs that persisted in such frigid riding conditions. And even more impressively, all managed to resist the siren call of stopping as they passed their cars at the halfway point.
First finisher (by like 3 hours!) Chris Maglieri had enough extra time to snap some photos.
