Minuteman Road Club

Does anyone ride bikes in this club anymore? I dare some of you couch-bound or cyclocross 1 hour wonders to Join me and Gary Sclar for a 4hr+ ride on Sunday starting in the 7am range. The weather is going to suck, it might rain, will definitely be cold and most likely downright miserable. We will do nothing but complain and curse and suffer. But in the end we will be better people for it, and I will gladly enjoy some refreshments after with no guilt or remorse.

Seriously who is in? And if you can't make it, I want you to still post up and give me 1 good reason why!?!

Racing Saturday. Sunday is day 1 of the off season. Planning to be couch bound. Are you happy now???

I JUST rode for 4 hours in the cold and rain on Tuesday, jeez.

Oh, all right. In.

I'll commit if the start time is no earlier than 9:00am.

@Chris if anyone deserves an off-season(or day) it's you

@Russ good answer

@Bill I need to start earlier but perhaps we could head down to westborough and pick you up on our way to oblivion

I'm still awaiting many responses!

After 30+ races this year if you count Wells Ave., this "1 hour wonder" started to fade about 6 weeks ago. I'm planning to start Sunday by relearning the names of my kids and enjoying not taking my morning poo in a porta-john.

Have fun freezing your nuts off. I'll be joining you in a couple of weeks.

Stephan's post ruined my breakfast.....

Jeremy and Gary, I like your style, riding hard and pushing others to join! I also need to force myself to work in some downtime. Give me a few weeks, I'll be back looking for pain.

Sunday is looking dry with decent temperatures.
If you are reading this - post-up that you are in!

Two reasons:

What, you never heard of a bike basket or backpack?
Seriously though, big-time congratulations!!!

@jacob - Best reason(s) not to ride. Congrats.

Finally someone with a good reason(s). Congrats Jacob...

The rest of you should be ashamed!

Panniers, FTW. #twins

Jacob, that's an awesome twofer! Congrats. Oh, and my excuse for not riding for 4 hours on a cold morning in December is... um... well... er... Crap! I'm in.

4 hrs in the pissing cold rain....... You are making me all homesick. I'll be there.

Looking like a ride out of the Plaza. No need to plan your route around me. Just post the meeting time and place and if I feel inspired I will head over.

Ok I'm making the call for a 7:30 start out of the Stow Plaza, heading west for a hilly ride toward wawa with a possible excursion around the reservoir. I hope everyone can make it for the duration but we'll plan some bail out spots maybe in the Clinton Sterling area if your feeling soft.

See you tomorrow.

What Chris said. See you in January. Congrats Jacob!

Since this is a long ride in early December, do I have to ask about the pace? Or is it obvious that this will be a base-building winter-paced ride?

Base

Sorry guys I'm out. Been told I'm on mid swim meet duty. Will be riding later in the day. Will post up when I know.
