Sterling early a.m. course ride - race day

Post by RPerson »

I'm working the early race and hope to do a sunrise ride of the course before things get going. Roll out when it's light enough to see, but maybe bring flashers anyways for the first loop. We should be able to get a few loops in and still have time for coffee. Any takers? Meet at the school.

Disclaimer: This will be a friendly ride. I'm in no condition to try and ride it hard.

How early are you thinking? I'll be game for that, but I have to be back to setup for registration, which opens at 7 am.

It was plenty light enough by 5:30 this morning to ride so no later than that. Maybe we meet at 5 and roll as soon as everyone is comfortable that we can see where we're going.

Are you not racing that morning? You should try to race that day, we need the representation. Of course, if we don't have extras I agree we need all hands on deck.
I'll pass since I have to say bye to the family: I am travelling to Italy right after Sterling and they'll be at a soccer game.

Unless we get apocolyptic storms like last year, I'll be riding from the school tomorrow morning no later than 5:30. Probably 2 loops of the course just to say I rode. Hopefully I have some company.

Hi guys.. I am riding over from Bolton and will meet you on the course. I left my house today at 5:00 am and it was light enough. Will ride the course backwards and should be there by 6:00 or so. Planning on leaving close to 5:00.
