Its not gonna be a sprint there, I'm pretty sure of that.

haha yeah, i dont wanna kill myself doing it. a nice brisk but leisurely ride... i dont have a computer on my bike so im never sure how fast i'm going. 15mph average maybe?

will u guys stop every now n then to drink/eat? or just go non stop.if someone gets a flat, do the rest wait up for you?

the kinda ride i wanna do would be totally chill... a community thing. no pressure. no dropping people. like i said, a good leisurely time. ya gotta stop to eat! and anyone who doesn't wait for someone with a flat is an ass...

I'd like it to be more along the lines of a group ride, people staying together most of the time (people climb at different speeds, of course), but you're looking at long days in the saddle, so depending on how many days the trip was for it could be pushing to not stop, or takin some time, depending.

rethinking, it actually seems like a 3-day'er might be the best way to do it. one day out to the end of the island, ferry across the next morning, get within shooting distance the end of that day, and the next day arrive somewhat early.

yeah, that's what i was thinking... a century the first day out to montauk, ferry across in the morning with a little sight seeing on block island, then up to providence, then 3rd day into boston.

Starting friday morning, maybe the 2nd week in March? Should be approaching 50 during the day by that time (barring wierd weather of course).

i'm down. a group ride in the cold would be more fun. honestly. but i'm nuts. whenever, wherever. i'm down.

If anyone wants to do a cold weather shorter ride, I'd be up a philly to NYC ride one sunday. Take a chinatown bus down the night before and ride back the next morning.

im really digging this idea..

you guys need to get some avatars.

yeah, i guess soo ....

haha true. i tried hookin one up a while ago, but it didnt work. maybe now with this fancy red star i bought

if I'm still here in may I'm gonna do the ny > boston ride. gotta work a convention up there.

as for ny > philly, that sounds like fun too. we should do this soon

ha! i actually live in philly. so yeah...haha.

where are you going? are you moving? (a single tear falls down EnLaCalle's cheek and into a glass of water on the table, creating tiny ripples of sadness to radiate outward from the epicenter of his chomboless grief [in slow motion]).

Im certainly down for a post Monster Track ride to boston Maybe like the second week of March like some people have mentioned. If we start friday we can get there early sunday spend the day and maybe the night in boston and then everyone can catch a bus back to NYC... So let me see the second weekend in March would be friday the 9th to sunday the 12th...

sounds like a plan to me, regarding the philly ride and the march ride as well.

We bought the Philly guys a round when they managed to ride up here. Maybe we'll buy you guys two rounds, since it'll be cold out.

I might be able to help out with accomodations for a few of you.

if we did it as a three day ride we'd need places to crash in montauk (motel would probably be easiest), providence, and boston. i could probably find places for a few folks in boston and providence.

I have a ton of space in my loft for people to sleep if you don't mind hard floors and subpar heating.

I could probably find a place in for a head in Boston as well, but providence is foreign to me. I was hopin we'd get enough people to just crash a motel room and pass out on the floor somewhere if at all possible.

i like trying to crash with folks, meet new peeps and hang if we're in cities with lotsa folks around. i can check with chris at Circle A and see if he had ideas for places to crash and stuff to do in providence. Maybe we could swing by the workshop. I also know other peeps around there.

i'm obviously up for this, depending upon when you want to go. i'm from montauk, and i have friends in providence and boston. plus, i've already done this in reverse (with yoshi on r1).
