MTB: Epic-ish Nass Ride - 9/28

[Greg]

Nice title change. :lol:

The big loop and the stone rd stuff looks to be about 13 miles without the kitchen and 14.5 with it. That's doing just about everything I know over at stone, some of which could be skipped if there's time constraints or whatever...

Well, my plan is to seal the driveway in the afternoon so I'd like to be done within 3-4 hours. Just means we need to ride faster with less breaks. Sounds good to me!

 

[bvibert]

I'll let you make the call, as I don't have a driveway to seal or anything, but we can cut some stuff out to make it quicker.

Here's what I propose:
~14.5 with the kitchen
~13.0 without the kitchen

Cool cool. Let's play it by ear and see who joins us and what type of pace we set. My only issue with your route is not including the Tunxis rock garden on the Stone side. I love that stretch!

Epic-ish just doesn't cut it for me. I'm waiting for the full on epic ride.

Tunxis rock garden............ I like the sound of that!

Good point, it includes some of it though, no? There's not really a way to hit all of it and the stuff on either side without doing some more doubling up. We could always skip the stuff to the south of the Tunxis... or the north stuff.

You'd like it over there. Gonna head down for the ride??

Don't blame you, especially given the drive.

 

[bvibert]

In reality we're probably not going to cut that much off of the epic route we planned. It's still going to be a pretty kick ass ride. I don't blame Austin for not wanting to drive the distance for an abbreviated, possibly soggy ride, but the rest of you suckas have no excuse.

For those that want a full epic...mark your calendars. Saturday October 25th is Tour de Nassty part II. The ride starts at the soccer fields lot on Punchbrook Road in Burlington. The ride creator, who did not make the first one, will be leading...He's planning on getting us as close to 40 miles as possible with very little trail repeating.

:lol: I'm definitely not man enough...

 

[bvibert]

Thanks for the invite rueler, but I'm definitely not ready for that yet..

Are you gonna make this ride on Sunday?

 

[o3jeff]

I don't think I can do 40 on flat roads. I am interested to see how I am feeling after the 15-20 this weekend that I am hoping to make.

Yeah rueler. Get up at the butt crack of dawn on a rainy Sunday morning and ride with a bunch of hacks. Sounds like a hoot.

:lol:
