"Flattest Century in the East"

[Darby361]

I just dropped my check in the mail for this! I did however circle the 68mile option - that is a Metric Century right? Lets see how training goes over the summer, maybe I will feel more confident and change that to 100! Yikes! I love having goals, and this will make me bike harder this summer!

Lynette, I too live in the Northeast Corner of CT - if you want to get together, let me know!

Hurray!

I just got my registration confirmation in the mail. I am #750. And I sent my form back on the very first day that it opened. Wow - it really is filling up fast!

And I also have had a number of women PM me and say that they would love to get together to bike sometime. It sounds like we are all different ages and all different abilities. The one common factor is that we are all recreational road bikers and we are looking for some other women to bike with.

Cool!!!

As soon as I complete my triathlon (it's in 10 days), I will send an email to everyone that has contacted me and we'll try to find a good time to meet.

This is fun.

I got my conformation today - I am #1413 and I see via the website that they are full already!! WOW! I originally signed up for the metric century, but based on the progress I have made in just the last month, I am going to email them and change that to the full century! I am so excited, I love having goals like this! See you ladies on the ride!

I propose a TE "practice ride" over part of the route sometime this summer, so we can all get to know one another. This is a very pretty route, and I believe it passes a restaurant that has stunning views of the Elizabeth Islands chain.

Who is interested?

Hi Everyone,
I too am finally confirmed for the TFCE. Let me know when the practice will take place and I'll be there. If anyone is interested in a ride sometime other than the practice, let me know. I live in the Dartmouth, MA area and would enjoy meeting some of the "girls" sometime.

P.S..Did my first time trial last weekend. It was called Crank the Kanc. I wasn't very fast (OK) but the course was unbelievable! Began in Conway and ended in Lincoln (up the Kanckamangus Highway, NH). It was 21 miles of climbing. Hated and loved it at the same time. I'm definitely going to PR it next year!

Wow, drijo, you sound like you are in a whole different stratosphere from me! I am a slow rider on a fast bike (Trek 1500 WSD) who hates hills...however, I envision this practice ride as more of a social event...I've ridden most of the route myself, but in segments, and I think we'll run the whole range of abilities if we all come together at the same time.

I'm thinking possibly a Saturday or Sunday in late June. What do you all think, ladies?

I would be game for getting together! I will be attending the ride by myself, so it would be nice to see some familiar faces!
