    Me too!

    My main concern is that I’ve signed up with a bunch of friends who are fitter and faster than me and riding much lighter machines. I’d benefit by being able to pace line with them, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to hold their pace and may end up riding by myself, with that damned wind.

    Guess we’ll find out!

    The ride organizers haven’t even sent any of the route details or on-site logistic details for the day of the event, so hopefully that is all coming soon.

    Did a 57mi eleventh hour training ride today, complete with an ice cream stop in the middle and a flat with 18mi left to go.

    Spectacular day. And I’m beat.

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    For any ride over 40 miles and temperature greater than 60F the ice cream stop is mandatory!

    This is such prime ditch work and ride all day weather. I'm ready to jump out of my skin.

    I’m on my work assignment in Vermont.
    No ditching possible but I am riding my bike to work every day and taking a new meandering long way home after work each day.
    It’s a fun way to learn the local roads.

    Forecast for the weekend beach metric looks kinda shitty—rain, wind.

    And my rain pants are still in FedEx limbo.
