Anyone doing this ride (it's actually in and around Barrington) on May17? The price is right, $15 day-of-ride.

Did it last year with Nietsmas and it was fun. Plan to do it again right now.

it's on my calendar.

I think I am in ( assuming my flight gets in before midnight on Saturday). Expect "Group B" mph average.

It's a nice ride - I try to do it every year weather permitting.

Hey Wireless, good to hear from you. I was just wondering about you when I was out doing some riding in Busse Woods recently. Hope to see you there. I don't really know what pace I'll be riding. I guess some of it depends on distance I aim for.

In.

Flat, hilly or a mixture?

I'm planning on it! It's mainly flat with a few hills. I don't remember thinking it was hilly...just really cold the year I did it.

Weather permitting, I'm in. I had a few health issues with my lungs (asthma and allergies). But I rode the last couple days, and I'm heading out for a 40 mile ride today, so I should be good to go.

Likewise! I hope I can make it and ride with everybody - at least for the first couple of miles

And yes - Busse Woods remains to be one of my favorite spots - just did 21 miles there tonight.

BUMP

I'm still in. So...meeting time? 7:00? 8:00? Who's still a go?

Mostly flattish with some mild hills. Usually pretty well marked. How does 7Am rollout sound?

Still in. Not sure of start time as I may have to work Saturday night.

I'm in for this one. I could start out with you guys...doubt I could hang too long but at least see you!!!! I'll be there whenever it's decided upon to arrive. 7 or 8 is fine.

I'm good for 7 or 8 start. 7:01 or 8:01 dropped.

I'll start whenever you guys decide although I'd prefer the later start time of 8:00. It's going to be a cold morning, but if we need to get going early, it's worth getting up and getting there by 7:00. Whatever works! (Voldemort ....I'm dropped 7:00:30 or 8:00:30 haha)

I prefer 8, too, but can live with earlier if need be. CyLowe, Psimet, Aham...haven't seen a word from you guys. I know you're out there. Any of you partaking of this endeavor? What time do others prefer?

OK, I can do 8AM rollout.

no can do for me. planning 60 hard tomorrow with a the LBS gang. sunday i get family stuff on the schedule so i am rolling out my driveway at 6am for 40ish. enjoy the ride. later.

I plan to ride Sunday, however I have not been riding much and I'm concerned if I ride with you all, CC will be yelling at me the whole time .
The later the start the better for me, it is a short ride, and I prefer riding during the warmer part of the day.

Now out. I have to work late tonight. Getting up early after a long shift does not agree with me.

The only time I'd yell at you JT1 is if a sprint was involved ... cause you'd be beating me!

such sandbaggers. everyone!

i'll be there for an 8am rollout. i'm going to try toning things down a bit and set a heart rate alarm so i don't overdo it...

I had my usual 50 mile hammerfest this morning ... so hopefully I can try and control myself and ride socially tomorrow.

Well, I had the best run I've had in over a year this morning. 10 miles at a 7:50 pace. I am thrilled. Haven't seen that pace in a long while. I smell a BQ for this fall and I'm not talking about barbeque. Ah, I love Boston in the spring.

Anywho, I report this to tag onto your "my legs are dead" sentiment. Seriously, I can barely walk. haha

There's a frost warning tonight. It's gonna be chilly in the morning. I have some good stories about not dressing warm enough for this ride a couple of years ago.
