Just looking for some company on an endurance pace ride.
As an alternative we could do the Landry's ride.

Patrick Goguen is going to join us fro a steady endurance effort type ride, eg ave 200-230w for ride, but nothing over 350w. Alan H may be able to make it too if he can get his car out of shop in time.

I'm also likely, but don't wait for me if I'm not there.

Looks pretty likely at this point, but work and family still might interfere. Bruce are you riding from your place. (If I go I will probably be starting from home.)

Last winter, I had my FTP tested and though it ought to be higher now, then it was... 240w.

what the hell is FTP? F*#!* The Power info?
What does "200-230w" mean as far as pace goes? Will I get dropped or not?
Assuming that I'm capable of hanging on to someone's seatpost... What time is the rollout?

Rollout time is in subject line of this thread.
It's a no-drop ride so you won't "get dropped" but we
may have to wait for you from time to time.

Don't wait for me. Not looking like I can get away from the office in time.

I'm on a rest week, so bearded professors on recumbents could be passing us and I'd still be happy with the pace.
Let's just hope this rainstorm passes on, though...

200-230w is the pace you can maintain for a couple hours, eg zone 2
you will not get dropped!
