Tailwind Cyclists bicycle club had their 9th annual New Year's Day 100 mile ride. The ride gives avid riders and the unbalanced individuals a chance to welcome the new year in style while shaking their fist at Father Time and Mother Nature.
The 2010 edition featured the second coldest start at 14 degrees and the coldest ever finishing temperature of 23 degrees. Five riders completed the 100 mile event in 5 hours and 45 minutes. A total of four slightly more sane riders rode anywhere from 12 to 55 miles.
100 mile riders included Ryan Heydenrych, Gary Mapes, John Mayfield, Todd McGeorge and Roger Lomshek. Deborah Anthony and Vince Scimeca knocked out a frostbitten 12 miles while Deb McGeorge completed 45 and Tom Bagby got 55 miles in.
A northerly wind dictated the route with riders leaving Pittsburg and heading through Girard, Uniontown, Fort Scott, Arcadia and Mulberry before returning home tired and more than a little cold.
