Steve - I know I mentioned the Rez maybe Wednesday, but that's my wife's birthday so I'm gonna have to aim for Thursday instead. If I can swing it, I'm gonna start early - 4:15 or so, and gonna try to rip it in 90 minutes or so.

Some rain today, but it's supposed to get windy so I think it'll dry out just fine. Gonna be spectacular weather tomorrow. Goal is to start around 4:15, out of the new lot.

I am still on the fence. I have felt like crap for the last couple of days, if I feel better in the morning I may join you. I am not sure I am up for the pace of a 90min rip. The fastest I have evr done that ride (with a little fooling around) was just under 2 hours.

Quite honestly, if we're done by 6:15, I'm cool. Tomorrow evening should be clear and the Rez has a good aspect for staying lighter late. We might also lose some leaves today so we should have a good amount of daylight. Cheshire is right down the road, probably 30 minutes tops.

OK, I'll check back tonight and confirm.

If you end up running late there's a few options to bail to the paved loop so you can get back to the lot quicker.

Didn't think I'd be able to make this one but, somehow the stars have aligned and should be able to make this ride! See you all in the lot around 4:15. :beer:

Would the ass kicking be worse if I rode point or if I was to ride sweep?

No go for me. I was planning to work from home so I can make this ride. But I have to go to Norwalk instead. :-(
