Most of us ride in the morning all the time, but it is early and far from you. Typically between 5:30 and 5:45 am most of the rides are run. I have jumped in rides in Weston, Concord, Belmont, and our own ride in Hudson/Northborough on different days. You should come out for one of them. I know many people probably fear the "bullet train" on Tuesdays but there is a B group now.

@Michael: That is because we are jumping on other club's rides. The Monsters out of Concord do the Bullet Train and lots of morning rides out of Concord. Crack of Dawn / 545 do the rides out of Newton. Weston Posse / MacGregors do the rides out of Weston. Almost all of these rides at 5:30 - 6:00 AM.

I don't post these rides, because I am not responsible for what happens in the ride (nor do I want to be). You have to go knowing the rules of that club's rides and go by their rules. When I post, I am the organizer of the ride and feel responsible for the people on it. In these other club's rides, I may be going, but don't want to be responsible for logistics, lost people, etc.

Do you have any idea how big the B ride group is?

The bullet train leaves from the White Hen in W Concord and goes neutral to Concord center. The A and B (and B-) ride over together and the B group does a couple extra laps around the town center. Then its hells bells. Size varies, but its usually a good group. Google Monsters and get on the e-mail list.

Michael,
When not on my trainer I ride out of my house (ashland) usually leaving around 5:30AM or so if you're up for it just send me a PM.
