Sunday Hard hilly 4 hour ride

[BrettR]

Whos up for a hard hilly 4 hour ride this Sunday from either Roche in Westboro or Berlin Park n Ride. Can either ride south through Douglas into Rhode Island or West to Barre and back from Berlin park n ride.

[PJ McQuade]

I like the sound of this. Will plan on it

[BrettR]

Awesome PJ where would you prefer to start from and what time since we are the first 2

[PJ McQuade]

Ideally, after Flanders coverage is over, but that'd be too late. 9:00? I like the idea of the Barre route but either way.

[BrettR]

Hi Pj
9 or even 10 am would work for me. I hope that we get some others to join also

[PJ McQuade]

10 is even better. Let's go Battenkillers, get on it.

[BrettR]

Hey PJ
Jerry Dezutter wants to ride also but needs to go at 9am. Can you compromise?

[PJ McQuade]

That's cool.

[onegeardoug]

I'm a definite maybe.

[BrettR]

Guys

Lets plan on meeting at Berlin Park and ride for roll at 9am

[cbusick]

I'd like to join you. I haven't been on a MRC ride in a long time though. I hope you don't mind me tagging along.

Note: Chris kills it on Strava (see new KOM on soap hill) so he is expected to pull on all the hills.

Also, I might show up for this ride but need to check with the commander in Chief.

[cbusick]

Hey, that's not fair! I had to pull on all the hills when I went out that way last weekend. I was planning on sitting back and enjoying the ride.

[Smudger]

In for this fun.

[carlshimer]

In for the ass kicking.

[Jacob]

Me too.

[BrettR]

Great Ride today guys. Perfect Battenkill prep work. Look forward to 2-3 hours next saturday at very similar intensity

Thanks

[Smudger]

Yep best group ride of the year so far. Totally as advertised. Hard and hilly.

[PJ McQuade]

What Smudger said. Race- like ride. Ouchie.

[JeremyC]

Tough call this time of year, race intensity vs. hilly Battenkill type rides. Looks like you guys threw down a good one. I will be doing a similar ride next Saturday, whoever is interested I'll post up later. Of course there will be some hill repeats this week as well...

[JerryD]

Yes, excellent ride today guys, though still bummed we missed the dirt road section. Have to scope it out further I guess.

Next weekend, 2-3 hrs would be good, have to see how Easter-related activities shake out

[scott_sweeney]

I am planning a hard ride for Saturday, but likely looking for more like 4 hours. Let us know how this starts to materialize...

Started a separate thread for Saturday.......

I ate like a pig last night!
