Nutmeg Spring Fling 2023
This was the third year for this event. Each year brings a larger crowd than the previous. I would estimate this one had about 100 people from all over the Northeast. Lots of familiar faces and lots of hugs. The weather was absolutely fantastic and the black flys were pretty merciful. I did as much of the ATB route as my legs would allow. My fitness is not where I would like it to be, but that’s fine. Seemed like plenty of others in the same boat and it was nice to just fall in with groups that had a similar pace. I made it a point to try and ride with different groups through different parts of the day. Lots of people I already knew and lots of new friends. Prior to the start I just assumed I would be fine to do the extra ride at the end of the day to get home. That was going to be an extra 15 miles with three notable hills. Tuns out I was cooked by the end of the event. My buddy Josh was a sweetheart (as he is) and gave me a ride over the river and home. Now I am tired and happy. Here are a few pictures from the day. I took way less than I had anticipated, but that’s fine.
