Douglas/Sutton rendezvous ride Sunday 9am

Post by pace21 »

Busick and I are meeting up for a (wait for it...) road ride on Sunday AM. We're rendezvous-ing on bike at a random intersection in Upton. We're coming from opposite directions so if you would like to join be at that intersection at 9am and we'll scoop you up. See the attached map for the meet up spot (shown by the start of the route).

IN (obviously) rolling from my house on the Grafton/Shrewsbury line at 8:15.
Probably doing something like: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26114320 to get there if someone wants to meet up with me along the way.

How fast will this reasonably paced ride be? Doing Gloucester tomorrow and I'm sure my legs will be feeling it on Sunday. I'm in assuming this isn't like a 20mph pace.

It will be a pace one tick below Carl rage quitting cycling. KIDDING! It will be reasonable everywhere and maybe spicy on some hills. Regroup, no drop.

For those lurking that haven't done one of these before.
The idea is a spoke and hub ride. Where people can ride in from their home or some other meeting point, group up at mendon and grove, do the 47 mile loop then head back home and get a 70 mile ride out of it.

I’m probably in. 47 is probably my max at this point so I’ll park close to the meet point.

Tom your best bet would be to connect with Busick and ride from his place in Shrewsbury

Sounds like fun, would have liked to have done it... but was hosting a U23/UCI racer, and had to cook her breakfast at 8:30 am. Ahh the sacrifices we make.
