FMR 8/1 6am

[Mkidd3]

Looking to be dry in the morning. Same usual coffee-less starting spot? Guiseppe's Parking lot.

Who's in?

Open to suggestions for a new starting spot...

[ahamilton]

In.

[JeremyC]

In. What happened to the Hudson place? I never showed for any of those, so I'm not sure if it was successful.

[Mkidd3]

Their 7:30 posted time is a farce.... Alan and I sat there for 10min waiting for someone and no one opened the doors. Harvest Cafe isn't open in the mornings anymore...

[JeremyC]

What about the Harvard General store? They have good coffee

[KTeves]

Coffee-less . . . I don't like the sound of that

Thinking 'in.'

[Gumbo]

It ends with this: http://www.strava.com/segments/1475162
Speed run from Mt Pleasant CC to 290.
We can make the town line just before Davidian's the sprint point.

In. More fodder: Ariba Coffee in Hudson?

[JeremyC]

All sound solid. Someone make the call, I'm riding there so I'd rather not go too much further than Berlin. Aruba works not sure of the hours.

[scottc]

where is the ride leaving from?

[KTeves]

My vote is for LalaJava in Northborough, but in for whatever the call is.

[Mkidd3]

I'm ok with Lava Java if everyone else is.

[cbusick]

I'm in for Lava Java. We can pick Jeremy up somewhere near Smudger's corner at 6:20.

[JeremyC]

It's done. I may ride to LavaJava but don't wait if I'm not there I'll meet you at Smudgera corner

[pace21]

In for LJ

[KTeves]

BTW: Smudger's corner was strewn with rocks and looked treacherous when I rode by on Tuesday.

[ahamilton]

I looked to see if you guys got this:

but it doesn't show up on our ride.

[Mkidd3]

I guess we went past it too fast...

[pace21]

Looks like the segment starts further up.... Oops.

[ahamilton]

There's always next week if we can get a consensus on starting there again.

The coffee shop was great, and I especially enjoyed the old codger hanging out at the front door.

[scottc]

Sorry I missed this one fellas, but it sounds like we found a new launch pad so I am definitely in for next week and the week after and the one after that.
