Minuteman Road Club

As everyone knows, Landry's is a great sponsor and not only donates to our races but gives us great discounts and special deals (think awesome Lazer helmet!!):

We need 3 volunteers (at least, more welcome) every week on Saturday at 7am. If you need a hard workout, lead the A ride. If you need a recovery or easy opener ride, do the B or C ride. Consider this one of the keys ways to contribute to the club.

So who is in for this Saturday? Count me as 1, so I need at least 2 more but would appreciate more company.

Also, if you can volunteer to be the "Leader" of the ride leaders for 1 week (ie. post up here for a specific saturday and organize), please email me which Saturday it would be greatly appreciated. Let's start with April only, I'll need 4 (April 9, 16, 23, 30) not including this Saturday which is me

Not this week.

possibly in

In for Saturday.

IN, but what is the plan? Are we going to post up a route or just tag along?
Chris P had some good routes from landry's a couple years ago. The one up Christian hill was good.
I can't really hit this at WNR A pace, need to save a little for the wind and snow on Sunday.

Thanks Chris and Carl. Good questions Chris, I'll confirm logistics and post up here. And yes you and I are in the same boat. If Marblehead is cancelled we can crush the A-train otherwise this is an opener ride

A couple of other notes:

1. Everyone should "Like" the Westboro Landry's facebook page so they can see ride updates:

https://www.facebook.com/LandrysBicyclesWestboro/

2. Everyone on the RACE TEAM will need to lead a ride AT LEAST ONCE. For now it's a friendly encouragement, but lack of responses will turn encouragement into harassment. Hopefully it won't come to that

Marblehead on Sunday is the primary reason I said "not this week," but if it's known that Marblehead is off the table before the Landry's ride then I'd probably be in.

Full disclosure: If the forecast for Sunday is accurate I will not be racing regardless of cancellation.

Even if we race, you should do this ride on Saturday. B group is easy and since Marblehead isn't an A-race for you then you should train right through it anyway

That's my thought exactly so planning on attending will post up for sure Fri. night

@SkinnyPhat So I'm now thinking 'in' for this. Are you all-set for ride leaders? I could do the 'A' or maybe the 'B' if a ride leader is needed. I saw the "Landry's Bolton B33" route on Strava.

If nobody has plans for a route yet, this route Pare put together a couple years ago for Landry's was good.

Are we doing the "Bolton 33" route? If so, I'll meet up with the A group at W Main and Crawford.

OK let's do this:

Chris's route is the A-route

My Bolton B33 is the B route:

C route - Check back here later

Patrick I'll need you to meet at the store because you may be leading a ride.

Everyone should download these routes to Garmin.

Also in. Also available to help lead B ride. I don't have cool technology and don't know the A route roads.

New guy here. I'd like to do the B ride. Does it start from Landry's itself?

Tx, Mark R.

@ Mark R. - Yes, starts from Landry's.

OK we should have a great turnout tomorrow, even if its only MRC

See you tomorrow. Coffee after if anyone is interested

I was wondering if that might end up being the case.

Can't make it

Can't tomorrow. Bball in the morning. Will be attending in future but not as leader. B group.
Any updates on Marblehead?
