Minuteman Road Club

I'm looking to ride from Shaw's to Wachusett on Saturday via the route we took before. A lot of climbing! Anyone interested?

What time are you thinking about heading out?

what's the distance and time expected for the round trip?

time of start: ummmm 6:00am (see post subject line)

Length of ride: I am shooting for 100, but will start early and can add on at the end. The loop is 82 miles. See http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-stat ... 3855773700. However, there are numerous points where you could cut back earlier.

I'm not planning on going terribly hard. The distance and climbing will be hard enough!

Sorry, already been a loooong week!!! I'm in, but don't think I can stay out for the full c-note, need to back by 10:30, 11 the latest.

Assuming I get my butt out of bed, I'll ride over and start off with you guys. I'm not in for the full either and I'll just pick a time to peel off and b-line it for home. If I'm not on time I'm not coming so don't wait.

Scott,
6 to 11 is 5hours
that's plenty of time for a century.
Just average 20 and you're all set.

Sounds great but the bill for last weekend's B2B ride is coming due tomorrow. A day with the kids (and an afternoon with the Sox).
I could do something on Sunday.

Hey Welling, what did you get for the total feet of climbing? My GPS is telling me.......11,617 ft. I ended up adding a little bit at the end to get a total of 93 miles.

Ouch... glad sleep got the winning vote this morning

Hey, could be off. But, it sure felt like 11,000! Justice Hill Cut-off is no joke!

So 11,000 is off? That's interesting, because the Climb to the Foothills route is listed at 4400 vertical feet.

So, given we did that route at 4400, then went to Wawa, it should be higher 5085

Hey, what's a few thousand vertical feet between friends. Back when I was a kid I used to walk to school and it was 1000 feet of uphill both ways.
