[C4 Rides] 2015 C4 Cycling Awards

Tue Dec 15 11:45:17 EST 2015

The Road Titan 300 was over 32000' of elevation gain in the 3 day event.  As painful as that was I just had to correct it. :P

That is some entertaining stuff.  I have to add up the centuries I did for 2015.  In 2014 I believe the number was close to 26 English Centuries, but I was short of that in 2015.  Damn work got in the way of my hobby a little to often!

Any other categories?  Any other nominations?

I hope you enjoy my attempt at putting a smile on your face at the end of our year and recapping.  2016 is looking great and will be another great year.  I’m hoping to have more options for “special” rides to break up some of the monotony of the standard routes.  Keep an eye on facebook for event reminders and notices.

Thanks,
Sean Earnhardt
