We would love to have company(a good Rbent participation would be cool ). This an LSR ride,but for $25, you can join RUSA & ride along with us & eat at Lucy's (on the square)after the ride.Where else can we ride with John for $25?

You can e-mail me at strada177@yahoo.com(or PM me) if you're interested.

I'm sure John will finish an hour or two before you and I do.

And if it's like cupcake well we know how that went but at least this time y'all be having lunch instead of hanging out in the hotel parking lot. Of course back then I was on a Bacchetta hmm.
Hm so the next question is bobcat an out and back or a loop?
If there is more then one midpoint control I could blow my legs out for the first few miles then uhm get a cramp and turn around and limp back to try and come in before y'all have started lunch. Smiley

I would think John and SK would be intending to do this as a "social" ride, not a 100K hammerfest, but maybe not... Have fun!

Nelson.

After a recent ride on the route, a LSR member's Garmin read 1,200+ feet of climbing for the 64+ miles. He can't ride it faster than Greg & I rode it a few weeks ago(legally with controls). I'm sure it will be a social ride.

I don't know about that, considering how much time we had to kill at the first two controls that last time I rode with him. Of course, at that point he was trying (quite successfully in fact) to school a DF rider on what a Bacchetta could do.

We'll find out Saturday morning. I say their might be some sprints, but overall, I think it will be social.
3hrs,27 mins is as fast as the route can legally be ridden. That record is safe.

The first control is 2 blocks to the east on Pecan.
