I can't get to Stow on Wednesday so I'd like to do a ride tonight that is mostly a cruise with a few efforts mixed in.
Anyone interested?
Earlier is better.
I can meet you in any of the surrounding towns.
I was going to do the TNWC's but it looks like the MRC contingent has bailed out tonight so ...

Since nobody wanted in I decided to ride over to Southboro and do the TT for the first time in a couple of years. Took longer than I expected to get there so I had to TT to the start. My warm up turned into a 35 minute hard ride. Took a breather for about 2 minutes and started the TT. Ouch! I am sooooo not a time-trialist. I crushed people on the sections where I went hard, but on the sections where I tried to cruise, lots of aero-rigs went rocketting by me. I ended up about 3 and 1/2 minutes slower than my best time. Totally spent, I crawled home in about 45-50 minutes and was about 35 minutes late for dinner.
I need to find more races that are under a minute. Those are much more suited to my fitness level.
