Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
You’re disappointed because you wanted to suffer and build fitness on Saturday at Palmer but they went and cancelled your fun. Have no fear, the return of the world famous WNRFMR will take its place!
This will be a hard, fast ‘race sim’ with no stops and minimal regroups. I’ll post a route later but expect something like this:

Rolling from the 110 grill at 9:30am sharp on sat 3/24

I'm in, but given the proliferation of the Crat-Flu do we want to reconsider the "minimal regroups" aspect of the ride? If it ends up being a full drop ride I could envision many solo riders floundering around Metro-west.

Fair enough, sounds good
Re: Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
lurking. flu is lingering. insomnia last night didn't help.

Im curious if I push myself thru this will it clear my lungs out faster?

Like last year's Asheville camp

Busick and I (possibly others?) had terrible bronchitus during and for a couple weeks after.

Thinking about testing myself and jumping in on this ride. Is the 110 Grill in Hopkinton?
Re: Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
It's the one in Berlin.

When I looked at the posted route example it just took me to Pare's summary page on Strava (impressive total distance BTW!). How far is the Sat ride likely to be?
I've yet to pry the road bike out of the trainer and onto the tarmac so not sure where my fitness level is...for that reason I'm 50/50

Here's the route for Saturday. Options are abundant if you want to take a shortcut to save energy. Miles 22.8, 43.6, and 50.9 are all good options for that.

No.
The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.

Re: Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
I think this likely pushes me off the fence, though! Or, at a minimum, establishing a sweep groupMkidd3 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:01 pmYou are all screwed!Thomas Coleman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 3:27 pm in, still upset about Palmer.....ready to take it out on something......

Re: Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
I might be in if there is some serious talk of a grupetto forming
Re: Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
I think it's a safe bet there will be at least two groups.Suffering Bastard wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:44 pm I might be in if there is some serious talk of a grupetto forming

Re: Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
Also have change of plans for Sat, now I'm out.
Re: Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
In! I'll probably ride to/from there as well
Re: Palmer race consolation smackdown ride sat 9:30am
Seeing that there are already plans of establishing a sweep. Would anybody in the smackdown group want to do a second lap of the harvard loop, followed by trying to chase down the rest of the group?
