Hey guys I am planning on doing the entire bike loop for Lancaster. Firman MA. This Sunday. I would like to meet at the swim start in Lancaster at 7:30. Pace will be 18-19 MPH and a possible run after the 56 mile ride. I cannot ride on Sat or Monday due to the NCAA Lax tourney at Gillette. Hopefully this is an alternative for those who cannot ride on Sat or Mon. WHO IS IN?
HERE IS A LINK TO THE START:

Exit 35 Old Lunenburg Rd. Turn right off the ramp, then Turn Right on Fort Pond Rd. Follow to Entrance to Fort Pond On the left and I will be parked somewhere around that area. (I have not been to the start yet)

I could be in for this. I'd like to check out the course. My plan is to ride long on Sat AM, too.... So you might find me bringing up the rear on Sunday.

Ian,
I doubt you will be bringing up the rear. We would love to have you on the ride. Hey El Dano are you out there? I figured you want to do this ride as well.

Dianne- the third lap would have been "real fun" had we chosen to do it. You rode well- nice rode overall... I would do that again some day...
