Meeting at the Hopkinton town common at 10am and riding this 32 mile loop. We're getting good at "winter" pace and that's the intent here

IN

In.

In. Riding there to/from Acton.

In. And will be riding there to/from Boylston. John, let's meet someplace. I asume you'll be passing pretty nearby to my place.

I'm in.

Don't forget that Vermont overload registration is reopening at 9

In.

Hard to turn this one down when it's right in my back yard!

It looks like I will be riding mountain locally but I will keep this in mind. Mind if I bring my friend who I am supposed to be mountain biking with if he wants to come to this instead? Erik Boos, by this I mean Adam if you think he can hang. I have a 3.5 hour ride the day before on Zwift so I can not even promise my full power.

Full power not needed. I’ve got 2.5 hour scheduled today and 3 tomorrow, so it will be nice not being on the trainer. Seems like this will be a zone 2ish ride. I think Adam would get a kick out of asking me if he could hang.

KT and John, if you have a route planned for the pre-ride down to Hopkinton, would you share it with me (davidkmccay at gmail dot com) or post it? I'm planning to ride to Hopkinton too (from Southborough) and I'd meet up with you guys en route, if that works.

I am going through Southborough. See below.

Yes it is on Route 85. But I commute to work so I have limited fear of traffic.

This is my route. Pretty much the same as my commute to work. I'll be going right by your street. Figure I'll be rolling by 9:15.

I'm a strong maybe, I'd be riding from my house and probably catch you guys mid loop.

I'm in. I'll be doing a TT from my house to the start after attempting to register for the VO. Then using this ride for a cool down until I realize I'm late getting home, then I'll split off and TT home

In with no extra credit.

Strong maybe as well. Will have more certainty by Sat evening.

Does winter pace = smudger pace?

No commitment yet as I may find something better to do but i am lurking which is a bit of a shock

Yes

I think I'm in

I am going to try to join. You are going right by my house on S Mill so the roads are very familiar.

KT and Raguin, thanks for posting. I'll be at Rt. 30 and Sears Rd at 9:00 in case you're running a few minutes early.

I am in. My other ride that I had planned prior just fell apart.

I would love this ride to be a bit earlier. I need to coach a game in Walpole at 12.
I'll rack up a couple of miles on the ride there and join you for a bit before heading home.
