Minuteman Road Club

I know some are headed up to Sunapee, but is anyone up for a 3+ hour ride Saturday AM?

I'd propose: meet at Westborough Roche Bros. for 7:30 roll-out to hit the Purgatory area. Hard pace on the climbs, regroup at the tops (no drop). I'm open to alternative start sites/routes, though, if others have a strong preference.

Post up if you're interested.

In. Riding from Marlboro. Would be helpful if we could finish in Westboro no later than 10:45.

Works for me.

In. assuming approval by the administration

80%, pending the death knell of the yard sale my wife wants to hold.

In addition to everything else, Obama is responsible for your riding schedule too??!!

Also in, and riding from Northborough. Onegear - you going down 135? They did finish repaving through rt.9 at least; I don't know about further down

Route plan for the start? I'd like to be able to meet up on the road since you will be heading in my general direction.

Wow, they must be working FAST: drove under Rte 9 on 135 yesterday at 1pm and it was only half done.

I am in. Perfect timing. Coming from Berlin.

I just came back from Route 9 > Route 135 towards Northborough, and from what i could see a 1/4 mi up the other way towards Westborough, it looked paved.
Glad to see that whole 135 section finally fixed up.

A possible route:

We can adjust on the fly as time constraints or other considerations dictate, but we will start by heading to Upton via Upton Rd.

For those unfamiliar with the Roche Bros. meeting point, keep in mind that we congregate in the parking lot BEHIND the store (just off Brigham St.)

Definite maybe, will meet you guys at base of Purgatory Rd/146.

I'm now 100% in. Ok for Panera afters as well.

If I'm still in, I will meet up with you on the road before Upton.
