Anyone planning on this ride? June 14th. I'm looking at it for my first metric. It's hilly I'm sure (having driven around the Quabbin) but I wanted to see if anyone from the forums would be going, maybe looking to buddy up, etc. I've been averaging 16mph plus mainly riding in the Wachusett resevoir area (hilly, but not like quabbin) on 30+mi rides.

I did it, unsupported and a week early because it conflicted with the Harpoon B2B. 100 miles around the Quabbin was pretty tough, over 7000 feet of climbing.

I did the metric. I flatted twice within the first 4 miles...errrr...finished strong though.
