Hey Joe,

I'm glad you like my road cycling calendar web page. I do add rides and update links often, so check back.

I have not done the Highlander tour - it is quite the drive. I will consider doing it this year if the weather is good. I would love to make a weekend of it. I hear that it is an awesome route.

I usually ride the Golden Apple Century in NY that Sunday instead. That is a terrific ride and I highly recommend it. There is quite a bit of climbing (not 11,000 ft as advertised at Highlander) and a very scenic route with many options to cut it short or increase to a double metric. I did the 125 route a few years ago and they have since changed the route and it is even nicer now.

As far as other rides: Here are my tentative plans - for organized rides on the "day-of" .... I did do all of these last year except for Mt Washington. I rode the route with a friend on a different weekend which might happen again this year. I still may swap The Prouty or other centuries as well. I am spontaneous and have been known to find a new century and just go at the last minute.

July 15 - Climb to the Clouds
July 22 - Summer Breeze Century
Aug 5 - Tour of the Litchfield Hills
Aug 18 - Steeplechase Century
Aug 19 - Mt Washington Century
Aug 25 - Blazing Saddles Century
Sept 8 - NVP Fall 125 mile
Sept 9 - TFCE (preregistered)
Sept 16 -Golden Apple (unless I drive to the Finger Lakes for the Highlander)
Sept 22 - Tri-State Seacoast (preregistered)
Sept 23 - Major Taylor Century

I am considering the Maine century rides that I have listed on my link, but need to make last minute decisions based on the forecast. I will happily drive to these rides, but I am not driving 5 hours to go ride my bike in the rain when I could do that out my front door : )
