Tour de Berkshires, Stage 1: Skate Sprint

There was a little snow left on the grass but the road was clear, so Stage One of the Tour de Berkshires went off without a hitch on a beautifully un-gloomy Halloween Day: skate rollerski sprints from the bottom to the top of one of our well-used interval hills, Bulkley Street (the women's start was slightly closer, allowing for similar finish times).  The podium winners will take home time bonuses: 15 seconds for first, 10 s for second, and 5 s for third. Today: TdB Stage #2: five and eight km classic rollerski races on Route 43.
