Looking to do a ride Sunday morning. I'd like to do something longish (10+ miles). Nass is the default location, but I wouldn't be opposed to a different venue. Anyone interested?

I need a change of scenery this weekend, so if you guys are riding Nass I am going to pass.

i'd like to get out this weekend if you dont mind a slower pace. Nothing against nass at all but i've only ridden there and that one time at nepaug. Is the reservoir ok? or case in manchester? hell, anything.

I am up for the Rez or Case. Case has more stuff up your alley, but I don't know it all that well. So we can either do an XC type ride at the Rez, or explore Case and find you some bad a$$ stuff to jump off. If you want to ride Case let me know and I will see if I can find a guide.

Something tells me that Brian may be open to options other than Nass...

Hmmm... could it be this?

I'm probably gonna stick with Nass. It still entertains me and is the best place that I know of around here to string together a long almost exclusive ST route. I'd love to get in a solid 12-15 mile ride.

I saw that sev, but i wont be able to start at 7:00 and i'm definitely not up for 10+ miles at this point so it wasn't really the venue for me so much as those two things. And these guys just cut probably 2 miles off of what they could've ridden last night so i dont want to keep holding the same people back all the time. Tim can take his turn waiting for me. :eek:

That's the thing, I'd kinda like to get a longish ride in, which I doubt would happen if I went elsewhere.

We still need to string together a ride consisting of some variations of the Lamson Loop, Stone Road trails, and a loop in Sessions.

Sometime this month I would love to do a 15+ mile ride at Nass.

Probably will work for me. Will confirm. Wheels down at 7 am?

That's the plan at this point. Let me know, if you bail I may decide to go hang with the slow crew elsewhere instead. ;)

Weather will play a factor in my willingness to do a super long ride. In other words I remember the weather being miserable the last time we tried a long ride, which made it not quite as enjoyable for me. I can handle riding in the rain, but after several hours it wears on me. ;)
