OK, my regular Saturday morning group ride was washed out so I really need a good ride on Sunday. Looks like pretty good weather all day. Is anyone interested?

I will be starting with a group at 8:00 am.

[ColorChange]

Looks like a nice ride but I NEED to do the rollers in Barrington Hills. I am thinking of 8 or 9AM.

Anyone?

[nietsmas]

i'd love to ride with you, but couldn't ride until about 2pm.

[ColorChange]

Dang Niets, have my daughter's birthday party (today at Coco Key), and tomorrow with the family so I have to be back some time around 11AM. I would prefer the 8AM start but can push it back to 9.

[CyLowe97]

8 or 9 would work for me, I think. Where do you want to meet?

[ColorChange]

Cool. How about 8AM at the Penny Road Pub?

[CyLowe97]

Book it. I'm the guy with the green Camry and the blue Felt.

[Rowdy]

I'm in for an 8 am start at Penny Road Pub.

[ColorChange]

Excellent! I'll be riding over on my Cervelo (I live nearby).

[Psimet2001]

Sugar Grove TT tomorrow....sorry. :(

[CyLowe97]

Sugar Grove TT tomorrow....sorry. :(

I thought about that, but then figured, hey, why pay someone $25 to tell me how slow I am at this point in the season.

:(

[Scan2007]

i'm interested, how far / how long you thinking (just need a guess to get clearance from the tower)

[aham23]

i totally would do it for $10 at any point this season. :D

later.

I am planning to do two big loops, about 3 hours. It will be easy t do one loop at half that.

[voldemort]

Count me in. Red Nissan with biking and Beatles bumper stickers. One loop for sure. Two if you guys don't kill me on the first one.

[jc33]

id like to ride with you guys also as i was gonna post on here that id like to start a sun morn ride group. how fast r u guys going (average speed), im not crazy fast so im just curious how fast i would be dropped.

[ColorChange]

Not sure about the others but I average 18-20 on this route on my solo rides. Group rides are usually quicker.

[CyLowe97]

Good ride this morning. Beautiful weather. Tons of other riders in the area with the same idea to keep randomly turning left or right in the Hills.

I think I had something like 54 miles on the cyclometer.

Thanks to ColorChange for a great idea to meet up and to Rowdy and voldemort for joining in.

[Hipcycler]

54 miles?
nice!

...no pix?

[ColorChange]

Really nice ride ... just about 20 miles further than I planned. I ended up doing 60 miles as I rode to the start. I only had two water bottles, no food or gels. I was really running low near the end and thank goodness Rowdy was taking long pulls the last 10 miles. I also had a a front flat at 37 mph ... yikes, hit a rock.
Thanks for CyLowes help with the freakin CO2 pump.

i like how detailed the polar software is. the srmwin app is hardcore german engineering = too much data

[Hipcycler]

60 miles at 18.5 ave. speed this early in the season?

Christ I'm getting too old for this game!
