4/8 2:30 Battenkill guys: Sleep in, eat a chocolate bunny...

... watch the Paris-Roubaix then kit up and come out at 2:30 pm at Stow Plaza after it has warmed up a bit for a 2 hour mostly flat recovery ride. Bring your Cadbury Eggs if you want.

Definite maybe.

Yes I'd like to join you, but my 11:30 easter party in Belmont could spoil it. I'll post up close to ride time.

Negotiating with my wife. Could we delay the start to 2:30 PM? That would help me and sounds like it would help Jeremy. Recovery pace only please!

[rusto]

2:30 sounds good to me.

[mcsmith]

I'm going to try and make it. Any idea of the course? Maybe I could cut in somewhere if I'm late.

thanks,
Matt

[jraguin]

Ok, thanks for the change to 2:30. In.

[onegeardoug]

My window of opportunity just opened (baby is sleeping!) so I'm going now, solo. Have fun.

[mcsmith]

I'll definitely be there.

Matt

[Tfrost]

I am in.
EDIT
Got stuck on the phone may not make it in time.

Sorry we missed you Toby. There was a little hiccup at the start when I arrived at 2:30, in my car (wife and daughter with me) and talked John and Matt into riding over to my house in Maynard so I could swap out the car for a bike. Decent low rev. ride followed.

I saw johns ride on strava, I missed you guys by about 3-4 minutes, and went down red acre farm road hoping to catch you. It was all ok, I wanted something a little more than a recovery ride and I ended up getting it trying to catch you. Then seeing I was on pace for my best hour (watts), decided to go for it.
Then trying to look at a great ride on the side of the road, accidentally cleared my data, and may have yelled a few bad words within earshot of an egg hunt. But I still got a fantastic threshold ride out of it, which is what matters most. So all in all it was a good day.
