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

[mfwestbe]

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

[djming]

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.

[eboos]

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.

[remad]

Thinking about the 125 mile option.

[KTeves]

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.

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.

[mfwestbe]

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

[dantelman]

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

[Suffering Bastard]

In for the double

[keycycles]

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

[Suffering Bastard]

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

[jraguin]

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

[djming]

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

[strat]

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

[djming]

For those registered, email has been sent with FAQ.

[Mkidd3]
