6 Mile Bike

Drove to Bristol to Lake Compounce to check out the bike course. It's a two loop 13 mile course. I rode 1 easy loop in 27 minutes averaging 13.7 mph. I never had to drop down into 1st gear. The park was closed so I didn't get to check out the lake, but it looks like there will be a long run from the swim exit to the bike transition area. Maybe a mile or more. It looks like the transition area is on the other side of the road from the park down a steep hill in a parking area. I didn't ride that hill, but can imagine maybe running my bike up it.
