I am also 50/50, not sure what our plans for the weekend are yet. But if can make it, I will be there for 7:00.

Brian and I were talking last night and the tentative game plan is to take a fast paced aggressive ride starting at 7 am with a slightly more mellow ride starting at 8:30. That could change depending on the participants and start times.

Anyone have any ideas for either leg? We could do the standard loop, but that would be three days in a row for me doing that ride. I'm not opposed to it though. Perhaps, we could take the cemetery twisties and do the climb and then head east towards the Stone Road area and maybe descend Devil's Kitchen? Then do the fire road back to Scoville?

For the second leg, maybe the warm-up twisties and then south to B Street. Take the shorter route back to the blue trail and then maybe an out and back down to the west of Beaver Pond?

If I can find child care, I'd like to join in the 8:30 segment of the ride.

My opinion... whatever you guys think best. You know the area. The only thing I've ridden are the warm up twisties and B street area. But I'm also still recuperating from my bruised ribs (therefore haven't ridden in a week now) and getting used to the clipless pedals.

Since I'm not a definite, though, don't plan anything based on my input.

 

[gmcunni]

7:00 AM is out for me. i'll be there for the 8:30. no preference on where to go as i have no clue about the place.

 

[bvibert]

I like the idea of either the standard loop at a fast pace, or the kitchen variation. Then heading back to the lot for 8:30ish to refresh before heading out with the rest of the crew. We can be somewhat flexible on the second part depending on who shows and what they want to do. There's a few options once we get to the b-street area. Trying to start right at 7 will be key in order to give ourselves plenty of time to make it back by 8:30, especially if we're heading into relatively unknown terrain in the kitchen area.

 

[Greg]

I'll be ready to have wheels down at 7 am sharp.
