Sunday 11/23 - 2.5 to 3 hours

[RPerson]

Not racing Sunday so just looking for some saddle time. 2.5 to 3 hours, consistent and fairly casual pace. Not sure of time yet, but it won't be super early. Anyone?

[rmazzola]

I could be up for that.

RichP - What about your Tour de Cross?

I'm up for this and save the drive to the 'hamptons. I'll be doing enough of that next week.

Can you say PIANO! Please.

Tour de Cross had to be canceled for me. Mazzola and I decided today that we'll meet at the Pic at 10 a.m. Sunday. Ride somewhere, probably get coffee, ride back. Pace will be casual and anyone going fast uphill will be shot

I like the sounds of that. 10 at the Pic. (in Westborough I assume?)

I just need to make sure I know where my road bike is!

[JoeH]

might join in if I wake up. just got back from a one day round trip to Albany. serious car-lag. don't wait for me. gonna be brisk.

[rmazzola]

Guys - it's 24 degrees outside my house right now so I'm going to climb on the rollers.

Sorry.

[tsavage]

I agree. The wind brings it even lower. All have a coffee at 11 and we'll call it a virtual coffee ride.

And here I was all ready to log in and apologize up and down for totally botching the amount of time it takes to ride to the Pic from home... I didn't check the board this morning and headed down there around 9:30. Got there and 10:15 and didn't see any people, cars, or bikes so I figured you guys were rolling along coming up with ways to abuse me for skipping I just got back. It wasn't so bad for the most part, although I write that as my chin starts to thaw out and tingle a little...

[JoeH]

just missed giant frame guy. got there@9:55, waited till 10:10, no signs of life, headed home, did couple hours solo. just read the cancel posts - were you expecting balmy mid-80's for temps? Rich P., I think Mazolla/Savage owe us a couple coffees, maybe muffins too.

[RPerson]

Hey I like the sounds of that... Rich, you can swing by the office tomorrow morning with a latte and a blueberry muffin

Sorry I was late Joe... I'm either a bonehead or was a little over-ambitious when I estimated my time... or both.

[rmazzola]

As it turned out, I climbed onto my cross bike and road around Hopkinton SP instead.
But it was still too friggen cold to be on the road.

Rich: Would you like anything in your latte?

[tsavage]

Fair enough. IOU2Java

I ended up on the couch for five hours stapling cub scout awards to cards.
