Minuteman Road Club

I will be coordinating volunteers for this years Fondo and am hoping to double up as a ride leader on the long course. I am hoping to preview the course Saturday July 7th with a fairly early start time so I have some idea of where I am going this time around. Anyone who knows the course interested in joining me for the morning?

Normally I'd say absolutely but I need to be back home in Woostah no later than 11 (preferably 10:30) so I guess it somewhat depends on "how early"?
I can always plan an intercept and bail out route.

Mark - here's the route to load it up: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27525568

I'm a strong likely!

possibly

And route has been amended with "Bernard's detour"

Thank god! My wheel can't take another hit like that!

Sounds lovely. As far as I know I'll be a weather-dependent in

Strong probable. Would prefer an early-ish start too.

Interested as well.

How early are we thinking? The brewery is only fifty minutes from my house so it's not a big deal on my end. I can go as early as the group decides.

Well, the brew yard opens at noon...

Forecast looks great after Friday...

If we start early, and finish before noon, those wanting to also get some brews afterward could always tack on a few more miles. Couldn't ask for a better Saturday than that

Probable. I would prefer early as well.

I'm can't coordinate this one. Start time is up to Mark Miller.
Hopefully I can meet up for a loop thru a portion of the route but (a) need to be back in Worcester for 10:30/10:45 and (b) planning on racing Sunday

Still lurking, early vote

I'm planning on it

Interested!

Do we have an official start time yet?

Brian A.

I'd suggest an 8 am start...then we'd be back around noon. Since this is a pre-ride and no aid stations, is there a rest-stop or somewhere to get food/coffee mid-ride?

Doug

Yeah, Doug, there's a store in Templeton

I was thinking either seven or eight start time and I'd like to add on a little extra to get eighty miles if there is any interest. I have a crazy goal of getting twenty miles this week for some silly reason. Whatever the group decided in terms of the 7:00 or 8:00 start time I will make work.

8 is early enough for me.

I am an hour away so I vote 8 am.
