Hey Mike -

I'm also new to the team this year and am going to get back into racing now that our two girls are beyond toddler-dom. Cat 4 road and Expert MTB (in licenses, not lungs, at the moment). I live in Grafton and something in Ashland/Hopkinton would be closer for me than the Stow groupings. I'm looking to get 2-3 hours Sunday and Monday (can't do Saturday due to a funeral in CT). I could ride over to Hopkinton if that works either day. Time is flexible. Let me know.

Mike/Steve -

If you meet in Holliston for Sunday just post a location and I could meet there or post the ride route you're thinking and I could meet up along the route.

If nothing else is planned on Monday I'm going to head out through Northbridge and Sutton (Purgatory) for some distance and climbs. Probably a similar route to Gary's tomorrow (I wish I was around). If anyone's interested let me know - I usually head down 122 into Northbridge and climb up Fowler Road heading towards Purgatory, if anyone knows the area. Could meet anywhere Grafton center on over.

Welcome everyone...

I'm the cat 2/3 director or leader or whatever my title is.

I live in Hopkinton and am always looking for riding company out my way.

I'm going to try to meet Brad and Steve tomorrow morning and then will be away for a few days but let me know when you want to ride in the Hopkinton, Upton area.

Since it's Sunday I'd be interested. I'll send you an e-mail offline for details and your address.

Was planning to meet couple guys in Westboro tomorrow AM, but can't talk them into a later start. I'm planning on leaving house @ 11, little warmer, and doing 2-3 hours. could head north or west if you care to join me. Looked you up on USA, looks like you'll be pulling me up some hills. Love it! Yo Stevie, what time are you start? could ride north with you for a while if you meet me in Ashland. lemme know guys. Joe

Hey All,

I am coming from Westborough and will get to Hopkington center around 11 AM. I don't have a ton saturday so probably have to break off around 1.

Mike -

Wow this thread got confusing fast. I am heading out Sunday. Is Steve still in? He's in Holliston I believe. If he is I'll drive over and meet you guys. If he's not and you want to meet between the two of us in Hopkinton/Upton some where I'll ride over to meet. I'll be in CT until tomorrow night so just post up and i'll see it tomorrow night. Have a good ride tomorrow.

Rob

My head hurts reading this.
Is there a ride today (Saturday)? I can meet in the Hopk area between 11 and noon for a couple hours.

Len, from what I can deduce, there will be at least 3 of us @ Hopkinton center a little after 11. Joe
