8:00 am from Richard's school parking lot.
75 or so miles.

Big cookout Sunday? Come burn it off.
Big cookout Monday afternoon? Come and make room.

More the merrier for our first long ride of the year.

Whats the route? Where is the cookout?

I am proposing 114 to Henniker, over Pitcher mountain and back on 10.

I already have a family cookout scheduled for the afternoon, so it would be bike and run for me.

Is there a bail out option? Maybe after 50 miles? Can you come back 31 to route 10? How far is that?

PJ

I might be in if my body will carry me that far. Perhaps we need the Gadget Van for support and to pick up the dead bodies if people don't make it, like me.

The weather forecast is not looking good for Monday or Sunday.

The route I had in my head was 11, 114, 9, 123, 10. That is approx. 80 miles in length. Taking 31 knocks 10 miles of the trip.

I won't worry about the forcast until Sunday afternoon.

Any changes in projected time leaving?

Monday morning appears to be starting off sketchy and getting progressively nicer as the day goes on. Not to mention 8am is a little rough for a holiday (or any other day if you're me). 10+- mph west wind projected for most of the day.

Any thoughts on a support vehicle or where to get food/water along the way?

FYI:

11, 114, 103, 11 ~ 42 miles (1st baleout option ~ 26 miles to 103)
11, 114, 9, 31, 10 ~ 68 miles (2nd baleout option ~ 44 miles to 31)
11, 114, 9, 123, 10 ~ 83 miles

Also to note, going 11 to 103 to 114 cuts 11 miles off distances

Ryan

I'll be there and probably take one of the first bailout routes.

8AM departure, so get there a bit ahead, sleepy.


I like the 11,103,114,202,9,31,10 route 57 miles total, I can do that and will as long as someone helps share the wind. Love that route check.

I need to be home by 11:00.

Weather will be fine and dandy.

Need a few gu's, and a big breakfast.

PJ

sounds good

ok, 8 it is. I'll be sleep riding from my house. I'm amenable to the 57 or the 68 mile routes, 83's a little farther than I'd like, but will follow everyone elses lead.
