Road ride Sunday 9AM, 2 hours
Leaving from the Dunkin Donuts in West Upton, MA (see map). 34 mile loop, I'm planning on riding to/from. For those riding there please plan accordingly for a 9am roll out from DD.

2 measly hours? Probably in but need some extra credit

I think the plan was to allow time for people to ride from home/other start locations.JeremyC wrote:2 measly hours? Probably in but need some extra credit
I'll join from Roche Bros in Westboro.
Re: Road ride Sunday 9AM, 2 hours
In.
@ Chris B. - I'll roll with you at 8 AM. I'll be driving to your locale this time.

Tough start up Hartford Ave. Hopefully everyone will be good and warmed up from the extra credit work on the way over.

I know. If you can think of a better way please feel free. We could take Glen to Quaker to School as its much flatter and just do that on both the out and back (more miles, less climbing). Greg won't be there to complain about backtracking anyway.

In from DD if we miss the rain.

What about going 140N out of Upton, over Milford Rd, then back down 122 to Northbridge center. It's a few extra miles, and still a climb, but no backtracking and not quite such a kick in the teeth.pace21 wrote:I know. If you can think of a better way please feel free.

Or, we can just agree not to light it up going up Hartford Ave...

John,
You realize Upton is in the real world, not on zwift island?

What if we reversed the eastern loop of the figure 8 you have so we finish with an assault on shiny rocks.

Well I notice a DD on zwift and with a name like upton I figured it was a virtual place.cbusick wrote:John,

Just kidding #NYR is to ride with friends more. I'm planning on riding from Ashland leaving at approximately 8AM (haven't checked route/distance yet to get to the start) if anyone is interest in meeting up

Will meet you in Northbridge somewhere along the route.

Re: Road ride Sunday 9AM, 2 hours
I was hoping for a miraculous recovery from this cold, but it's not looking good. If I feel good enough when I wake up tomorrow I will join from Roche Bros. Odds currently at 50-50, so don't wait.
Re: Road ride Sunday 9AM, 2 hours
Sweet, looks like the rain may hold off for us and it could be downright balmy. A lot of moving parts so please be on time for a 9am DD rollout. We'll check the forum at 8:59 but won't plan on waiting for anyone unless they've posted up.
Re: Road ride Sunday 9AM, 2 hours
Do we have a final decision on which route? I'd like to load the garmin

Re: Road ride Sunday 9AM, 2 hours
I'll be at Roche brothers at 8:30. And no it's not going to be "balmy"
Re: Road ride Sunday 9AM, 2 hours
You pick CB. I think Moon hill Road is full of potholes.
Re: Road ride Sunday 9AM, 2 hours
See you guys at 8:30 at Roche, assuming I can find my Summer kit by then for this Balmy weather.
