Saturday afternoon ride
Saturday afternoon ride
I will be riding some time Saturday afternoon, or late morning. I have very few constraints on time or place. Anyone else riding this weekend? Board's been really quiet, so I thought I'd stop waiting and post something.
Preferences:
- Would like to get in some decent hill work
- Would like to ride at least 2 hours
- Would like some company
- Would like location to be within 1/2 hour drive of Sudbury

Alan,
I'm in for all your requirements. My daughter has her swim league championship meet at BU in the morning. If you could hold off on the start time to 1:30 or 2pm I'm sure I'll be home and able to meet you at Stow by then.

I'll start another thread to further the confusion.
Re: Saturday afternoon ride
I am in for an afternoon ride and will check but think Della is too
Re: Saturday afternoon ride
Hmmm... that route to Wachusett sounds perfect for what I need. A lot of pain between there and the mountain. But since I got the ball rolling on an afternoon ride, will it irritate people if I bail? Afternoon warmth vs. great route. What to do? Will check in later...BTurner wrote:I'll start another thread to further the confusion.

Re: Saturday afternoon ride
Yo Scott, I knew you were out there somewhere. Your boy Carl has been putting the hammer down lately - we're trying to keep him in line. Tomorrow, I'mk meeting Brett @ 4 Overlook DR. which is left off W.Main St on the way to Grafton center (from Westboro center). any logistical probs, 774-212-3380, Joe
Re: Saturday afternoon ride
P.S. getting to Brett's @ 9:40-9:45.
Re: Saturday afternoon ride
OK, I'll see you at 9:40, I'm pretty close by. I'll bring a cinder block to tie to Carl if he shows...

Re: Saturday afternoon ride
I just signed up for the morning ride to Wachusett. Choosing hills over warmth. Hope I don't regret it. Have fun out there.

Bruce,
Are you riding over. If so, let's hook up. I'm going to roll out at 1:30.

Re: Saturday afternoon ride
Knee reacted very cranky to the twisting I did in the AM on the black ice. Felt OK on the flats- but at the slightest hill into Littleton it hurt to push it... Back on the safety of the trainer tomorrow night till it feels better:( Great day to be out there though and to see everyone...
