Fondo Pre Ride July 7

[MarkMiller321]

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!

[KTeves]

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

[cbusick]

Interested

[pace21]

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

[davidmccay]

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...

[mfwestbe]

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

[jraguin]

Probable. I would prefer early as well.

[djming]

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

[Mkidd3]

Still lurking, early vote

[KTeves]

I'm planning on it

[dantelman]

Interested!

[Briana]

Do we have an official start time yet?

Brian A.

[dantelman]

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

[KTeves]

Yeah, Doug, there's a store in Templeton

[MarkMiller321]

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.

[dantelman]

I am an hour away so I vote 8 am.
