I was considering my FMR debut for this year and then I looked at that profile. HAHAHAHAHA. I'll consider another week when there's a bigger group to draft off.

I'm sure you'd be fine. The route lends itself to pace-lining better than the normal route; not as many sharp hills.—Even if it's only a three-man paceline.

I’ll join you guys on this one.

What the heck, been trying to get back to sleep since 4:00, so might as well start with you guys, get dropped, take a planned Linden St. shortcut and try to get back to LaLa at the same time as you guys.

Alan, Did you go?

[ahamilton]

I did. I did a much kindler, gentler version of the loop. Started with the group, then cut off about 40% of the loop and headed back to the coffee shop, where I had to wait a few minutes for them to show up. My loop had hills, but I didn't attack myself, so it didn't hurt much.
