Ride to Cake coffee shop Sunday 2/28

Post by pace21 »

Meeting Mark B in the middle of north and south for a coffee stop at Cake (http://www.cakeshopcafe.com/). The plan is to meet at Cake at 10:30am Sunday morning for a coffee/pastry and then roll for a 20 mile loop (start/end at Cake). The intent is to ride there, do the loop, then ride home so it's a good opportunity to combine bigger miles while still meeting up with teammates and enjoying coffee and a ride together. Feel free to just show up at Cake on your own, but if you'd like to connect with me on the road and ride in together let me know -- I'll be taking this route and leaving at 9am from Franklin:

See below, I'll be intercepting Busick's route instead.

I have swim with Conrad 9:30-10:30 at Assumption college.

Didn't see this ride take place on Strava dashboard and checked the forum again... need to learn to read because I thought it was Saturday. I can most likely make the ride and will play things by ear in the morning on riding to/from.

Mark, what do you think about taking the route we used to go from my place to the Cake Shop Cafe a couple of weekends ago? I think it's about 20 miles so you might want to drive to my place; unless you're up for some big miles.

In for the 20 mile 10:30 loop; will likely add miles on after.

Here's the loop from the cafe: https://www.strava.com/routes/4222970. Kevin, I don't know the loop you had a few weeks ago, but I'm open to changing this.

Sounds like fun. Most likely in, let me square up the logistics.

To get to cake by 10:30, we'll be leaving my house at 8:30.
This means turning onto institute around 8:37 and get Vlad.
Pare, are you trying to meet up with us? I thought that was the point.
We'll be going through West Upton around 9:05 and then turning onto Hartford Ave at 9:20.
I think you'd have to either TT or leave before 9 to get to the Hartford Ave turn by 9:20.
If you left your place at 8:45 then we'd intercept somewhere on Mendon/North Ave

I may be in, riding from Acton/Stow. I am seeing if Sweeney wants to join up. Probably an 85 mile day if I do it.
