For all pertinent details see "Landry's Weekly Rides" post as first topic at top of this page.
Please post up if you are available for this Saturday the 21st.
For the upcoming weeks, don't forget to talk up the Fondo!
First off, it's Battenkill week so I realize we don't have nearly as many around.
Second, a recap of 5/14:
A solid turnout, both overall and by MRC. The A group was fine.
The remaining riders broke into 2 "B" groups, one going south with me and the other north. My group was a very manageable sized mix of seven B- to B+. Feedback I got from the other group was it was a bit too large (12 or more) with a wide variety of abilities.
Two things for this week -
First, I'm planning to take the A group on a Purgatory tour (up the chasm climb then a loop on the race course) - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13765303. I'm hoping that some of the stronger B riders (if they're there this week) will join up for the A's.
Second, I'm thinking of taking a page from our WNR playbook. Vlad has agreed to lead the B group and I'm thinking of having him start maybe a minute or two behind us and ride our exact route to the top of Purgatory Chasm. That way if any A riders want to fall back, they can regroup with the B's and turn right where we turn left on Central Tpk.
I'll post up my idea of a B route later, along with a possible C/B- option. Looking for a couple more who can help with the B's and (if needed) lead a C/B- group.

In for Purgatory
Re: Landry's Ride Sat 5/21 7am Westboro - NEED RIDE LEADERS
Okay, here are the proposed routes:
"A" group: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13765303
"B" group: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13828289
"C" group: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13828421
A's will regroup at Central Tpk after the chasm climb, top of Lackey Dam Rd and after Keith Hill. We can attack the climbs but otherwise (unless it's all MRC), at least initially keep it to more of an MRC-like B/B+ pace.
B's will follow the A route up to Central Tpk and then, after collecting everyone (and any A's that may drop off), turn right and head to Keith Hill/Grafton.
C route is really just out there for an idea but will likely be handled by some of the "regulars"
In addition to those posted above, anyone else??
