Saturday Bullet train hard ride 9:30am - we're on!!!!

Post by JeremyC »

Official start time: 9:30am my house. Seven Peabody Dr

Putting out a feeler for a hard training ride. Meet at 9am at my house in Stow, ride to Concord, do the bullettrain as a hard paceline ride, then back 45-50 miles or we could tack on some endurance at the end.

I'd call it a "no drop" but "expect to suffer" ride so if you are just starting your training then it's not the ride for you.

We would need at least 4-5 people. Also people could meet in Concord at 10.

Need quick responses to confirm.

In, though I would be more interested in a slightly later start.

In. Good excuse to not head out in the rain today.

If we have enough. Rees can pull the whole time. Would still equal suffering for me.

You know I always want later, Pare asked for 9am. Let's see if he weighs in.

In. Will meet you in route as you go through Acton on South Acton Road to the intersection with Route 27 next to the South Acton train station. I assume you are riding through West Concord Center.

Even with a solid group of us, every segment on the Bullet is probably not attainable without some wind behind us too...

A hard, flat'ish ride seems quite my style but I will have to pass. Race on Sunday.

Lurking. If I show I will have the route loaded and be prepared to get dropped. I know how these "no drop" rides work :-).

I am in no condition to join in anything titled "bullet train" I'm still trying to recover 20w I lost just from a week off in Puerto Rico 3 weeks ago.

we should make sure we all have the same route. I recall last year the official bullet train route changed slightly. I'm not even sure which one I have

Anyone lurking and concerned about getting dropped you now have a wheel to follow

Please refrain from snot rockets unless pulling up the rear of the paceline 😳. But seriously, for real...
