Tour de Berkshires: Stage 2: Route 43 Classic Race

Another clear day with little wind for our distance, individual start, classic rollerski race along Route 43. The race follows the farm road and then turns up a steep hill to finish near the alpine ski area, Jiminy Peak. The results below reflect yesterday's race and the second number is the overall combined time (with subtracted time bonuses). The top two in each women's and men's races yesterday became the top two overall in the Tour. Elena, Casey, and Will were not able to race yesterday and made up the race today, as it was a "rest day", and their times have asterisks to show they were not included in the podium awards. Tomorrow the Tour will continue with classic sprints. The new Yellow Jersey leaders will be Erik and Christina!
