[JoeH]

[cookm]

Bill,
I'll give you a call tonight. I'm up for a ride Saturday out of Blackstone.
Joe,
I'm sure we can meet up in the Northbridge area. What time are you heading out?

Proposing either the Fairbanks pool or Stow Sunday at 9:30. 2+ hours of winter pace...

[JoeH]

Hey Mike, I'm flexible for time. thinking mid-late morning. if I take 135, it takes me about 50 min. to get to Blackstone vocational school, or 40 min to get to Westboro center.i figure i can ride with you guys for about 1-1.5 hours,then head back. let me know where/when you'll be out there. thanks,joe

[taeves]

Rich, I'll ride sunday...but can you define winter pace....i have heard that before and got shelled at last weeks ride......

[scott_sweeney]

Rich:
My Sunday morning just freed up--I can do a ride out of Stow at 9:30am. I have to be home for noon time sharp.

Post up if that's coolwhichoo.

Joe,
Bill and I are heading out at 9:30 and will be at the Blackstone vocational school at 10:15. Let us know if that works for you.

If I ride Saturday it will be local and short, otherwise I'll plan on being at the plaza by 9:30 for the Stow loop on Sunday. Todd, just don't ride 5 hours on Saturday and you will be fine.

[JoeH]

Mike,sounds great.See you there. Joe

[taeves]

brad, meant to tell you that i met your brother stan on a ride not too long ago. nice guy. we were riding in a large group talking and all of a sudden he was riding over some ice on the side of the road, Kept it all together and rode right over it. Very much impressed. He was talking a lot of smack about you though......

[michaelcole]

Wow. If he can pull off a surprise move like that on ice, I'll bet he'd be half-way decent at cyclocross...

[reeegan]

I'll be there Sunday.

[ahamilton]

If the weather is reasonable I may show up at 9:30 at the Stow plaza. Don't wait - if I'm coming I'll be on time.

[RPerson]

Andrew, if you want to get in a few minutes of extra credit, I'm planning to ride over from home. Let me know if you want to meet up...

[ahamilton]

I'm out - the ice factor is going to be too high to justify it. I may head out later if the snow doesn't hit. Or not.

[BTurner]

check out he current Tof the B conditions. this will ride will be a piece of cake. or maybe ice cream cake.

[scottb]

I'll be at stow to ride at 9:30, a friend is also joining.

[reeegan]

I was all ready to go, almost forgot my bottles. Ran back in the house to grab my bottles, then realized I had no cages for the bottles on my cross bike. Have to meet up with you guys next weekend.

[RPerson]

Funny thing about those fancy jerseys we have... they have pockets

Sorry we missed you... next time.

[reeegan]

The pockets fill up quick in the winter. Next time...

[irusk]

That was a pretty nice ride, not much ice out there at all and it warmed up nicely. Felt good to get off the trainer and do some real climbing (well, maybe it didn't feel "good" at the time, but I needed it).

[RPerson]

You're nuts Brad... my 20+ minutes of bonus riding on each end was plenty. I can't imagine having needed to do a bonus hour at the end.

I've found that if I mix in half a bottle of hot water before I leave, they usually survive the ride without freezing.
