Way to sell it, Mark!

It's very likely I will show up for another humbling experience.

In and suggest we do the new loop and skip the sprint to avoid the horrible, ripped up road.

I think so on the bike, but by map: Continue on Sawyer after crossing 62 which turns into Frye which turns into Berlin. Left onto Randall and up Right on Old Bay. Left on Wattaquadock, left on W. Berlin, down Peachtree, right onto Randall, Left onto Highland, and we're back to usual business at Coburn.

Most likely in but in pre-race mode. The issue is that I don't want to do 29 miles on a day before a race (Sunapee). So I am debating taking the old FMR route (cutting out Old Bay completely which cuts out 7.5 miles) and waiting at the corner of Carter & Highland for you guys to come back down. The plus is that I would have company for the rest of the ride, the negative is that it is a bit chilly to be waiting on a corner for you guys. Cutting out the lollipop only cuts out 3.6 miles, although I due to the cold that I may end up just doing the lollipop cut and riding back solo.

Roger that, seems like everyone has racing on the agenda this weekend. No lollipop smell, no lollipop. We could even skip Coburn if folks want and come right down the hill.

Regardless, I'm probably riding there and home and then lunchtime cross-sploration, so I'll be getting my miles.

Wow that's a lot of thought and planning to avoid 7 miles of riding.
