I'm thinking the century. Anyone else care to join me?

Lurking... I may not be able to decide soon enough, though

I may be up north that weekend but if around will do it. Century sounds good KT but might be tempted by the double metric.

Double is tempting. This would be double the furthest distance that I've ridden so far - which coincidentally was the Quabbin Race.

Do it! You'll appreciate having others around. Even if you just do the century, you're in for a pleasant feeling! Eat lots.

Thinking about the 125 mile option.

I'm registered. I specified the double metric because that seems to be what most are leaning toward. We'll see about that day-of

I'll do the same. Pretty cheap reg fee for a good group if I can't make it.

Yup!

Registered for double metric.

Lurking...need to check on a few potential conflicts first

I have to see what I am working but we shall see. If I am able to I might do the 100 or at least the metric.

Officially not lurking... out. Need to take some time off and this would be too much too soon

It looks like I will be around that weekend... Either the metric or 100. Depends on the weather

In for the double

In for the double. We should set a roll out time.

The suggested start for the double is 7am, that is what I’m planning for.

I will be a game time decision. I am doing a ride two days before and may still be shelled.

In for the double. I'd also say go with the 7AM rollout.

Registered for the dubba metric...7am works well for me

For those registered, email has been sent with FAQ.
Double metric route is here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27760566

In, registered for the double.

Officially out... Wife made plans and this being 125 miles I can't confirm what time I'll be home. haha Anyone want to hit up Pac Monadnock early Saturday morning??
