Sat. 3/12 Long Ride - Westborough

[PJ McQuade]

Looking for 3 hrs + endurance pace, w/ a few hard hill efforts. Looking to hit some 5-10 minute climbs. It's time.

Supposed to be sunny. Meet @ 10:30 Roche Bros backlot, Westboro.

In, pending scheduling summit. Will confirm.

May have to shift my start time to meet family commitments, but I'm in for at least part of the ride.

[rusto]

In. PJ, is that the same shopping center where you and I had lunch at Panera Bread?

[PJ McQuade]

Yes, that's the plaza, Russ. Meet in the small lot behind Roche Bros. market.

PJ - post a potential route as I won't be at the start and will try to meet you guys on the road at some point. Thanks.

I'll try and work that out and post up later.

[Smudger]

I'm in. See you at 10:30 that is the start time isn't it?

[PJ McQuade]

Smudger, 10:30 roll. This is the route I mapped for those trying to link up after the start.

PJ -

Your map settings are "share only w/ friends." I sent you a friend request or you can open your ride settings to public if you don't care. If you don't have time just give an approximate location of where you might be around 11:30-12:00pm. Thanks.

[taudep]

Don't wair for me. I'm actually going to ride from my house due to time constraints. I'll get out there to ride with you guys one of these months.

[PJ McQuade]

Rob, should be all set now. 11:30-12:30 I'm guessing we'll be climbing Mendon Rd. through Sutton State Forest or descending toward Putnam Rd. toward Manchaug.

[RFollansbee]

Thanks PJ - if you don't see me in Manchaug then don't wait and I'll try and catch you on the way back.

[Smudger]

I'm out. Met Len at Wachusetts dropping the kids off and will ride here with him

[swawersik]

Made it back and in time to go to the tile store. Domestic bliss preserved...

Hope my lack of legs today was just my cold and not eating enough. Otherwise I'm in for a world of hurt in San Diego.

Just be glad you didn't bump into "Len the legs" like Bill and I did cause he ripped our off, chewed them up and spat the out on the side of the road somewhere in Princeton.

We got lucky when Brett (545 Velo) decided to venture out on his own, otherwise, I think we would have been legless, rather than merely hobbled, which is what I am.
