Wanna do 6 hours with me on saturday? I'd like to sleep in a little bit since i havnt done so in many weeks but i can do any time after say 11?

I'm looking for a real easy pace, just trying to get the miles under my legs. I'm up for anothyer 5 or 6 on sunday morning as well if you're game. And monday any time.

Let me know.

I'm scheduled for 3 on Sunday, but I'm nailing down what time. I'll post as soon as I know and we can meet somewhere.

I could be up for Stow, depending on the day/time. Will be riding outside somewhere - might as well do some dancing, too. I'll be happy if I can survive 2.5-3.0 hours.

I'm in for a ride from Stow over the weekend. Sunday is probably better for me assuming I don't dance too much on saturday night.

I should be able to make a Sunday Stow ride.

I'd like to get 3-4 hrs each day. What time are we talking here?

Can only go in the morning both days....will check back to see times later today.

I can ride Saturday if its early enough. I have plans for later in the day.
Can we meet someplace by late morning?

How about 10:30 or 11:00?

Works for me. How long are you all planning on? I might ride over to meet you guys. And i hope you are all planning on going conversational pace...

On Sunday i need to do the morning too so let me know where and when and how long you all want to do on sunday.

I don't know the stow area at all, so i'm not leading.

did i see a sunday at stow (shaws) at 9 go by? i thought so. i think i can make that

(6 hours on saturday, and 3 on sunday of valentines weekend - definitely no wife, kids, house, etc)

I shall see you there bradferd. How long are you planning on riding?

Definitely out tomorrow. Sunday at 9 may work for me if that's where the party is.

Gents,
Looks like there's another group going out at noon from Stow, and I'm guessing the tri-contingent came to their senses and postponed their 7AM ride (with the possible exception of Kimball). We should try to synch up.

Ian - the noon ride is for tomorrow. This one is for today. Hope you can make it.

Just realized that. Gonna try to get there.

Wind Sucks. Especially when it'd in your face going up hills.

I was probably averaging like 50 mph until i missed a turn and got discouraged and cold and dehydrated and sore and hungry and tired and everything else. I ended up doing just over 5 hours, i was too cold to keep going. Once the sun went below the trees the temp. dropped like 10 degrees. I learned that when riding for 5+ hours you need to prepare for changes in weather in advance. I also learned that even though its cold, you still need to stay hydrated. I also learned to never release gas while sitting on the seat. And i also learned that Oak hill is stupid. I learned a lot today.
