Leaving from the Dunkin Donuts in West Upton, MA (see map). 34 mile loop, I'm planning on riding to/from. For those riding there please plan accordingly for a 9am roll out from DD.

I think the plan was to allow time for people to ride from home/other start locations.

I'll join from Roche Bros in Westboro.

Tough start up Hartford Ave. Hopefully everyone will be good and warmed up from the extra credit work on the way over. :-)

I know. If you can think of a better way please feel free. We could take Glen to Quaker to School as its much flatter and just do that on both the out and back (more miles, less climbing). Greg won't be there to complain about backtracking anyway.

What about going 140N out of Upton, over Milford Rd, then back down 122 to Northbridge center. It's a few extra miles, and still a climb, but no backtracking and not quite such a kick in the teeth.

Or, we can just agree not to light it up going up Hartford Ave...

John,
You realize Upton is in the real world, not on zwift island?

What if we reversed the eastern loop of the figure 8 you have so we finish with an assault on shiny rocks.
Something like this.

Well I notice a DD on zwift and with a name like upton I figured it was a virtual place.

Just kidding #NYR is to ride with friends more. I'm planning on riding from Ashland leaving at approximately 8AM (haven't checked route/distance yet to get to the start) if anyone is interest in meeting up

I was hoping for a miraculous recovery from this cold, but it's not looking good. If I feel good enough when I wake up tomorrow I will join from Roche Bros. Odds currently at 50-50, so don't wait.

Sweet, looks like the rain may hold off for us and it could be downright balmy. A lot of moving parts so please be on time for a 9am DD rollout. We'll check the forum at 8:59 but won't plan on waiting for anyone unless they've posted up.

Do we have a final decision on which route? I'd like to load the garmin

You pick CB. I think Moon hill Road is full of potholes.

See you guys at 8:30 at Roche, assuming I can find my Summer kit by then for this Balmy weather.
