So while I was out tooling around the back roads of southeastern Massachusetts, the embattled Tyler Hamilton was winning the Mount Washington Hillclimb up in New Hampshire. That’s a good story, but look just a little farther down the results and you’ll see Ned Overend, who wore race number 50 for a very good reason. Today is his 50th birthday.
According to the VeloNews article, his time was 5 minutes faster than anybody else over 40 has ever ridden the race. How’s that for aging gracefully?
