Nice. Great weather for the PMC. Thank God the humidity is supposed to be lower.
I'll be thinking of you guys while I'm on the fully supported ride
. Also when I'm getting my complimentary message in Bourne after pigging out at the buffet.

I REALLY hate to have to do this, but the way I feel now after getting my teeth yanked, I cannot do the ride this weekend 
.
It will have to be on the 11th.

.Sorry that you're in pain from the tooth extraction. Hopefully they gave you some nice painkillers to take the edge off
. If the group ride takes place 8/11, take some pics and share the good, the bad, and the ugly. Wish I could be there Helen

I have had it on my calendar for a while. Weather looks good. Lets see what the head count is.

All the info is in the first post of the thread - 10 a.m., Lot 9 in UCCON/Storrs campus. Look for the dude slumped over his Trek 2500.

Can't make it .... My family can't handle me being gone that long. It would be about a 7 hour day (round trip) for me

I remember those days. That's one reason why I'm now single again

Yeah, I've ridden Block Island before. It's not all that challenging though...not enough miles of paved road. I guess I can bike at home early before driving out to catch the ferry. Now there's a challenge: making the crossing without turning green (insert green nauseous-looking smiley face here). Hmmmm parasailing, perhaps after some liquid motivation, that can be something to pursue

Being single again seems like not such a bad idea !!
Oh well. I mapped out a nice ride I might do instead. 65 miles around lower Litchfield country with 6500 feet of climbing. Depends what I do on Sat. If not this weekend, then I'll try to find some other masochists to go with me in a week or 2.

Heh....I'd join you in two weeks if I'm feeling better. As it is, I'm trying to figure out how I can do Hilltowns with the way I feel right now. I've ridden like 3 days this month.

I'm going to be up in CT this weekend camping with friends. I already told GuitarWizard that I plan on doing the ride he mapped out in the OP in this thread. Not sure of the exact time I'll be getting to the UConn campus but am shooting for before 9am.
If anyone wants to join me let me know. Shoot me a PM for my cell number, I head up to CT tomorrow morning.
