9:00 AM, meet behind Roche Bros in Westboro. Attack the hills, regroup, moderate on the flats and rollers. Similar route as before. As always, a lap on the Purgatory RR course will be included.

[RFollansbee]

In.

[PJ McQuade]

I could swing Sunday. Rob?

[RFollansbee]

let me check. Should be ok

[carlshimer]

I might be in for Sunday. I need to do a long ride for my B2B prep.

[jraguin]

I would definitely be up for Sunday, but is anyone up for starting earlier? I just can't swing 9 AM with all the kids activities.

I really would like to do the loop, since I am probably going to sign up for Purgatory and want to experience the course.

[PJ McQuade]

Sunday it is. John, what time did you have in mind?

[jraguin]

Is 7:30 AM possible?

John R

[DCorso]

Hey guys,
I'd be interested in joining you on Sunday. Are you meeting at Roche Bros?

[PJ McQuade]

7:30 Sunday I could do that. Does that work for others here? Yes, behind Roche bros.

[Len_E]

I plan to be there. What's the estimated time or distance?

[jraguin]

Much appreciated for the 7:30 AM start guys. See you there behind Roche Bros.

John R

[pace21]

I should be there.

[carlshimer]

in for 7:30

[Len_E]

Thanks Gary. See everyone at 7:30.

[Len_E]

This is the Roche Bros about a block or two off or route 30, right?

[PJ McQuade]

Yep, that's the one. Now pray to the rain gods.

[pace21]

Don't wait for me... Chris

[PJ McQuade]

The grim forecast had me worried before this ride, but glad got it in. Len, free up your schedule for the Purgatory RR - definitely a great course for you.

[Len_E]

Lots o' fun today guys, thanks for the ride PJ and Carl. Great route, the Purg race looks like a joy. I'll see if I can get someone to babysit for 5 kids under 10 (only 3 are mine) for 5 hours.
Riding conditions were better than could be expected and even better when I got home - it poured as I was taking the lawn mower out of the shed. Bingo!
Again next weekend?

nice ride today. While cleaning my bike afterwards I noticed water sloshing around in my front wheel. Somehow water had gotten inside the rim ( around the spokes??). I had to drop the pressure and let a bunch of water out

I don't know about the rest of you, but it was pretty dicey going down Mendon road. 35+ mph, raining cats and dogs, I can't see a thing, and a twisty decent!

Go Celtics!
