Friday Morning Ride 4/13

[cbusick]

I'm looking for a ride Friday morning. Is anyone going out, or is everyone in pre-BattenKill rest mode?
If there's no group ride I'll probably just do a loop around Grafton/Upton/Millbury and take back some Strava KOMs from PJ.

Can't make this ride but KOM challenge accepted!

I'm up for an FMR, Chris. Were you thinking the traditional route?

[cbusick]

I'd be up for the traditional route. Only problem is I haven't done the FMR yet. I've only heard the legends and seen a number of Strava segments marked "Official FMR"

[rusto]

How early would you have to start?

[cbusick]

I'm actually pretty open. It would be good domestically to be home by lunch.

FMR as in the ride in Marlboro?? If it starts early enough I'd be interested. The starting point is about a mile from my office.

[cbusick]

Where is the start for the Marlboro FMR?

[Mkidd3]

I believe it starts at Guiseppe's Grille, 35 Solomon Pond Rd, Northborough, MA. I've only ridden the modified FMR loop once so I'm useless for knowing the roads around here.

[cbusick]

Ok, I can do that.
What time works for everyone. I assume my schedule is the most open.

My schedule is pretty open too and for me, it would be good to ride down there and back as well... so if nobody wants to go any earlier, my bid is for a 8 a.m. start at Giuseppi's. If there are any commuters who want in, speak up and we could go earlier.

[cbusick]

That works for me. 8 AM at Giuseppis.

Have fun guys. Regular FMR next week!

[cbusick]

Thanks for showing me around the loop Russ. I hope to start showing up for the real FMR in a couple weeks when I get back from traveling.

You'll have more company on the way up the climbs once the Battenkill boys start showing up.
