Minuteman Road Club

I'm leaving the Stow Plaza parking lot tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. to ride this 39-ish mile route clockwise: clicky

"Big" climbing (up Stow Road) is completed by mile 14 or so and the rest is a mixed bag of a trio of short, steep hills (along 225 in Carlisle), rollers and nice downward sloping straight-aways (going south on Concord/Lowell Road in Concord).

Last year, I was able to pull it off in just under 2 hours, averaging about 19.5 mph. I'll probably be off that pace by about 1 mph but who knows...

I managed to do the 37.3 miles in 2:02:13 / 18.3 mph avg. - mileage a bit shorter as I started at Stow Plaza and then went directly home, shaving off a mile or so.

Seemed like everyone was going in the other direction...
