FMR - 11/20, 6:30 AM from Aero Coffee

Post by KTeves »

Weather is looking pretty good for a FMR. Forecast temp 43 F as on right now.

Route is whatever is the will of the people (I will concede should I lose the vote :) ).

Who's in?

In.

How about a cross bike alternative, doing a variation of the WNR from a few weeks ago starting from aero?

Would it avoid the crap sections at the beginning/end of the WNR?

I am not sure what crap sections that you are referring to, I thought that the rout was great.

Anyways, here is my suggested route:

Yeah, it was for the most part, but the beginning sections in Southborough were choppy and slow (you even commented how slow it was). My taint isn't used to that any longer ;)

Would love to join but I can't swing it.

Anyway...not sure if you've ridden through that Cold Harbor Brook section or not but you'll probably need to dismount in 2 spots due to some rocks - think of it as like crossing barriers! It won't be bad in the daylight...you just can't hammer through it like on the Aquaduct!

I was going to ask about that area because I know BA rode that area before and did not enjoy it.

Rees, any chance you'd be up for a regular FMR or some variation of it?
