Sunday Stow ride at 6am?

[JeremyC]

Meet at the stow plaza, I'm open to and particular direction including the stow loop, concord, wachusett, etc. I'm looking for 3 hrs. Any takers? Bueller?

I think it's time I test out this shoulder... don't be surprised if I self-drop along the way!

I'm going to do a 3+ hr Aerobic/Tempo ride to Concord in the AM. If you'd like, I can swing through Stow at 6AM and you(s) can join me.

[JeremyC]

Doug, good plan see you then. Meet at the dunkin at the the stow plaza

[onegeardoug]

I'm there. I'm doing 35 minutes to get there, so warm up...

[Smudger]

I'm heading roused the Res and up the hill with Corso starting from the pic at 5:30 if anyone
Is interested in something more interesting than the Stow loop.

Smudger, can you translate this into English because I think I might be interested...

I think that:
roused the Res = "Around Wachusett Reservoir"
up the hill = "Up the Wachusett auto road"
pic = "Picadilly Pub in Westboro"

Am I close ?

[Smudger]

Been playing golf,drinking too much beer and watching the USA game: ( but your translation seems about right.

Yes 5:30 at the Piccadilly pub in Westboro then rond the reservoir

At 5:45, I remembered that I had to cut the adjustable strap on one of my shoes after my crash (the release button tore off). I raced to the basement to get the sps pedals off my trainer bike and then out to the garage to put them on but discovered the limit of my injury when I simply could not get the pedals off my #1 bike.

What did you guys end up doing?

Landry's came through for me again: they had a strap and buckle for my older shoe. Since I "saved money" by not having to get new shoes, I sprang for some Speedplay pedals instead.
