Alan - I didn't mean it to scare anyone off. Just a heads up that the some roads could get rough. That said... I'll have 25mm Gator Skins running.

Oh, and also for those that haven't done Pack before. The decent sucks. I'm not going to lie, the road isn't in the best of conditions. It's rideable, been there three times this year already, just rough.

Only 6,000 feet of climbing? Unimpressed...
I'm still unconfirmed, but requesting Saturday off based on current weather forecast

I'm in, hopefully for both mountains, but I won't have time for beer. I need to be home by 12:30. I might park at Wachusett MTN and ride up to the start so I can finish earlier and be a little closer to home.

Just got an email from our boy TJ at WBC, he confirmed that there's food onsite for post ride eats. Still bring cash, it's not a sponsored ride.

OK, not sure if you're serious or not.... It's outside, but I don't know if they have a public dog policy... Or are you asking if your dog can join in the 78mile ride.... ;)



If anyone had down loaded the route already. Refresh the route and down load what you now see. Busick pointed out that the system sent us down a dead end road and through a trail that may or may not exist. It's fixed now...

So, non-MRC members (provided they are made of suitable stuff!) are welcome to join?

There's a few chaps from Leominster who I can ask that might be game

Hmmmm.... I'm not so sure about these Leominster chaps you speak of. Can't trust anyone from that town! ;)

As long as they know what they're getting into I'm cool with it.

Crap! New cables installed and road tested, but test ride exposed dead Stages power meter that was not fixed by replacing the battery. :-(
