I'm not exactly sure what this means, but I like your confidence.

If the group is split, is there anyone in the lead group who wants to do a second lap of loop between Harvard and Littleton? I assume that that after doing a second loop, the rest of the group will have had a chance to regroup and start riding again. Meaning that we will have to chase down the rest of the group. Maybe it is a bad idea?

I'll pass on that, my ride will already be 100+ miles. If that's the consensus, you can chase me down to the Harvard General Store where I'll be stuffing my face with cookies

Confidence Level= 11/10 :lol:

I'm lurking on this ride. I'd ride to/from so I'm not looking to chase down & lap groups for extra credit

Yup, let’s stick to the original plan as it’s already confusing enough haha

Most likely sitting this out. Barely moved for a week, and need to ease myself back in. :(

I like the sounds of this. I mean, I should fit somewhere in the comet trail.... I'll be at the start. Thanks!

Love the forecast too, sort of reminds me of Earth, Wind and Fire: A slight chance of snow showers between 11am and 1pm, then a slight chance of rain showers after 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 40. North wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%... just enough uncertainty..

I'm scared just reading the descriptions of the debauchery that will occur on this ride. I'm going to ride the route, but I can't be at the 110 by 9:30. I'll either drive ahead on the route and try to link up around 10am or just ride the route in the reverse direction and start in Marlboro. Either way, hopefully I'll see one or two of you out there.

Now that I'd likely be a grupetto of one I'm going to sit this one out.

Don,

What time are you planing to ride? I'm thinking we could ride a similar, but shorter route.
