Team Quabbin Recon Ride - 4/9 at 10:00

[djming]

Cat 4/5 team captain Bernard and I started this idea and have a solid response of interest from current 4/5 members, so now it's time to post up the idea and details.
MRC team day on the Quabbin course. Recon and race strategy discussion throughout the ride.

Date: Saturday 4/9 (no team race this weekend). This date is firm unless it is predicted to be steady/consistent rain (or if late season snow/ice). Light rain and still a go!
Time: 10:00AM clip in from the tower (possibly 9 if this helps accommodate more but 10 is the plan)
Maybe break into couple of groups?

Responses so far:
IN (definite for the 9th): Mark B, Dave M, Kevin T, Paul W, Ken C, Fintan, Nick B, Mike R, Mike W
IN (probable, just checking schedule): Todd J, Vlad, Nick L
POSSIBLE (but not too likely): John M
OUT - Josh B, Mark D, Scott S (probably out)

If you're on the above list, no need to post up unless status changes.

Just to clarify (Jeremy..) - ride started as an idea with the 4/5 team but is open to all. The more the merrier.

I can do this... if "the tower" is the start location for the race... if not, I'll need directions.

... if "the tower" is the start location for the race

Yes, the tower is the starting location for the race.

Still on for Saturday, for anyone who hasn't already responded and not included in the email chain.
Target of 10:00 with rollout no later than 10:15. Meet at the tower/race start parking area.
Looks like 13 of us presently.

Okay, we're down to 11. Any other takers?

C'mon lads! 3-4hrs, hills, sub 40 temps! What more could you ask for!!

I recommend displaying the elevation profile on your garmin. There are a lot of false summits, which can be moral sapping. The elevation profile lets you know what to expect ahead.

I'd rather not know and just keep pedaling...

Wow, a proper starting time. In.
