If I can get my wife drunk enough Saturday night to not notice me sneaking out of the house at 6:30am then I could potentially make it...;) Just don't tell her...

:smash:

I was actually trying to find a way so that we could both go... but I know I can't keep up with your ludicrous speed pace and we do have to be in East Haddam for noon, dressed, clean, and with fruit salad to boot.

Make the fruit salad on Saturday, leave Nass by 11. We'll be dressed, clean is a relative term. Besides they have a pool there... ;)

I am really going to try and make it Sunday. But there is a small chance I won't at all or I will be there late

Leave by 11? the ride starts at 7, you could bail at 10 and still get 3 hours of riding in.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade - honestly. I would love to go (and I already knew you'd want to, Brian). But I know there's not a chance in hell I can keep up with a fast-paced, long ride. And I don't want to be the one holding everybody back either (though I assume this group would just ditch me in the woods somewhere anyway :p).

If Steve and JP are riding it won't be that fast:wink:

Oh heck, even they're faster than I am! :eek: :oops:

To be honest I am not that fast either. I can ride fast when I have to, and I ussually have to just to keep up with my riding partners. But when it comes down to it I prefer a medium pace, and hitting alot of techy stuff.

Its scary that a couple of the guys I ride with regularly make Greg and Brian look slow :-o. There is no way I can keep up with them when they ride full tilt. They have to stop and wait for me all the time.

I have all my stuff already to go. Was going to load up the bike in the car, but but had second thoughts and decided to leave it in the basement until tomorrow.

I'm ready too. Just have to fill the bladder, load the batteries in the GPS and load the bikes. I'm tired today. We didn't end up going to the beach so I started staining my 850 square foot deck. Brushing stain on the spindles is tedious. I'll be hitting the pillow sooner rather than later.
