Minuteman Road Club

Taking advantage of the warmer temps hence the late start. We'll head from my house at 10am sharp for 58 hilly miles, should be a tick over 3 hours. The Prez and WW are already in.

I CAN promise that there won't be any snow or likely any melting snow
I CAN promise that we will stop and regroup at the end of each important "sector"
I CAN'T promise that the last 15 miles won't be a deathmarch

I'm in Franklin, let me know if you need directions to my house...

Is this all paved, or are there dirt sections?

Definitely interested...

Still in. Time to get serious people...

All paved on what were decent roads last time I rode them pre-winter

I'm thinking In.

Busick, are you riding to & from? I'd be up for it.

Pare, if I see ANY snow on your route, will you buy me a burrito?

Patrick,
You could talk me into riding over.

Tempting but I'm signed up for the Fatbike race at Wallum Lake on Sat.

Brian

Highly probable/virtually certain

Okay, I'm in

thinking 'yes'

Pat, Chris: I would normally join you in riding to the start, but in this case I'd be looking at a double-metric so — NOT!!

Sounds like the water is warm and the Captain / Prez was calling us / me out.

In.

The Fatbike race has been cancelled, I will upgrade my status to a definite maybe.

Brian A.

Chris, text me your address. Pretty sure I can make the ride.

another damn scheduling conflict.....

Just do it

Maybe. Have tentative plans for a long gravel ride here with a friend. If he backs out I'll try to make it down.

Park at my house Kevin, it's not even 150KM round trip.
We'll roll from my place at 8:30 if anyone else is interested in 92 or so miles.

Chris B, what time would you be departing? Are non -frankinkill miles going to be low-paced, or pat-paced?

"We'll roll from my place at 8:30..."
That gives us 1:20 to go 21 miles, or 16 MPH, and then we're 10 minutes early at pare's house.
Or we could drill it and be 30 minutes early.
But I think it is better to go 16, not spend too much time cooling off at Pare's and have plenty left in the tank to give the prez the spanking he's begging for on tower hill road.

Can you post the route Chris P? It would be good for everyone to have it on the Garmin's. Not that we will leave anyone behind, but some of those hills can be twisty and a gap could create confusion around which way to go.

That's more like what I was thinking. I'll be at your place for the 8:30 roll out.
