Dudes. Long Weekend + Sun + ME + You = Awesome

[Steve Wright]

Wanna do 6 hours with me on saturday? I'd like to sleep in a little bit since i havnt done so in many weeks but i can do any time after say 11?

I'm looking for a real easy pace, just trying to get the miles under my legs. I'm up for anothyer 5 or 6 on sunday morning as well if you're game. And monday any time.

Let me know.

[RPerson]

I'm scheduled for 3 on Sunday, but I'm nailing down what time. I'll post as soon as I know and we can meet somewhere.

I could be up for Stow, depending on the day/time. Will be riding outside somewhere - might as well do some dancing, too. I'll be happy if I can survive 2.5-3.0 hours.

[Smudger]

I'm in for a ride from Stow over the weekend. Sunday is probably better for me assuming I don't dance too much on saturday night.

[BTurner]

I should be able to make a Sunday Stow ride.

[vbrown]

I'd like to get 3-4 hrs each day. What time are we talking here?

[scott_sweeney]

Can only go in the morning both days....will check back to see times later today.

[michaelcole]

I can ride Saturday if its early enough. I have plans for later in the day.
Can we meet someplace by late morning?

How about 10:30 or 11:00?

[Steve Wright]

Works for me. How long are you all planning on? I might ride over to meet you guys. And i hope you are all planning on going conversational pace...

On Sunday i need to do the morning too so let me know where and when and how long you all want to do on sunday.

I don't know the stow area at all, so i'm not leading.

[irrogical]

did i see a sunday at stow (shaws) at 9 go by? i thought so. i think i can make that

(6 hours on saturday, and 3 on sunday of valentines weekend - definitely no wife, kids, house, etc)

[Steve Wright]

I shall see you there bradferd. How long are you planning on riding?

[RPerson]

Definitely out tomorrow. Sunday at 9 may work for me if that's where the party is.

[irusk]

Gents,
Looks like there's another group going out at noon from Stow, and I'm guessing the tri-contingent came to their senses and postponed their 7AM ride (with the possible exception of Kimball). We should try to synch up.

[ahamilton]

Ian - the noon ride is for tomorrow. This one is for today. Hope you can make it.

[irusk]

Just realized that. Gonna try to get there.

[Steve Wright]

Wind Sucks. Especially when it'd in your face going up hills.

[Steve Wright]

I was probably averaging like 50 mph until i missed a turn and got discouraged and cold and dehydrated and sore and hungry and tired and everything else. I ended up doing just over 5 hours, i was too cold to keep going. Once the sun went below the trees the temp. dropped like 10 degrees. I learned that when riding for 5+ hours you need to prepare for changes in weather in advance. I also learned that even though its cold, you still need to stay hydrated. I also learned to never release gas while sitting on the seat. And i also learned that Oak hill is stupid. I learned a lot today.

...I also learned to never release gas while sitting on the seat.

-i didn't need to know that.
