I was going out for this one last year with jtm(numbers), but it ended up raining really bad. There's a thread about it out there....somewhere....

This one's in my backyard. I'm in for the 100. Hopefully I'll get my seat height tweaked by then (broke my old one a couple weeks ago).

Measure, and record. Measure and record. How many times have we gone over this already...;)

I recommend to everyone to go out to the Park Tool site and print off their measurement/setup sheet, and then follow their directions for taking as many critical measurements as possible. That sheet can really save you a lot of time and pain and agony when you are forced to swap parts.

4 Day Bump.

Forecast is looking cool with a chance for rain/t-storms on Sunday. I'm still in for this ride, but if it's going to storm, I may opt out.

How can you be in and then out within 3 posts. You have handled every challenge thrown at you this riding season, don't start waffling now! :)

oh I should ride this... but Wilmot is far... I'm too lazy to drive 70+ miles early am. :(

mmmm??, decisions, decisions??

I am stil...technically...in. Really haven't ridden much in the last month or so. One trainer ride, one century, and one weekend session where CyLowe handed me my butt on a platter.

Then again why not kill myself for 6-ish hours? I'm in unless the weather is poopy.

hey psimet... I did the BCLC Ramble Ride in June out of Kenosha. Is this Harmon Hundred (in Wilmot) along some of the same streets??

In no way, shape, or form, did I put a hand on your butt.


I would have taunted you visciously on the ride, but then realized you are still recovering from the crash. And that we were riding on a MUP. Taunting anyone on a MUP is beneath even my cruel nature.

Hey there whitesox I was thinking about doing this ride too. I was originally planning on doing the Door County Century, but never got around to signing up ... and that's a heck of a lot longer drive home afterwards.

If you decide to go, and would like to meet up again, just let me know.

Honestly I think we should all meet up. Easier to ride you own pace if someone else there is riding the same speed - ;).

Besides conversation helps the miles roll by without noticing.

I'm in for the century, my wife will be riding the 50 mile route. I would welcome the idea of riding with a group. My goal is to average around 20 mph if I'm riding with a group. I'm riding in the Tour De Tucson this November, and I'm trying to push myself a bit now to prepare. I'm also planning on riding the Peddle The Kettle ride on the 16th.

Early is always good. 7 am meet up, 7:15 rollout?

Psimet, you may need to crank out another of your patented BikeForums Meet Up signs.



Oh yeah, the forecast is looking good for Sunday, but if for some reason it's raining (like last year's ride), you'll probably see an early morning post in this thread from those expressing regrets on not making the ride. Think sunshine!

When has rain ever stopped any of us? Bring a jacket! I've been feeling a little sluggish lately, I'm riding slow. I'll see you all at 7 :D

I could not do 7 am , but will be there for 50-miler starting around 9 am. Given the speed you may catch up with me before finish. I am on Giant TCX. And probably the only one with platforms, not clipless.

Have a great ride, everyone!
