    Flattest precourse get together

    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 available on any of these dates:

    Saturday, June 1st
    Sunday, June 2nd
    Sunday, June 17th
    Saturday June 30th

    I am also a school teacher and my last day of school is Tuesday, June 19th, which makes me available on weekdays after that.

    So if a group wants to get together sometime other than the weekends, I would be available.

    I am one of the slow bikers - I would probably bike around 10-12 mph, as long as it wasn't too hilly.

    How far would people want to go?

    How is June 30th looking for everyone?

    I'm looking at possibly 30 - 40 miles, with a stop for lunch at one of the small restaurants along the way, riding at our own pace with a couple of meeting places along the way (I'm no speed demon, myself)...

    I think our abilities run the gammit...I want this to be a pleasant experience for us all...a chance for us all to meet, get to know each other, enjoy each other's company, share ideas...as well as experience part of the century route...

    I await your feedback!

    Saturday, June 30th works for me!

    Count me in.

    And the distance sounds great, as does the break for lunch.

    I am very excited to meet everyone!

    I just made up a northeast CT cycling group in my email program.

    In it I have the following people:


    Me
    Deb
    Carolyn
    Louise (Carolyn's sister)
    Trish
    Janlyn
    Marcia

    If anyone else wants to be included, just send me a PM with your email address.

    I will send out an email letting everyone know that we are putting together a group to bike part of TFCE ride on June 30th, with a stop for lunch. Approximate distance will be 30-40 miles.

    Hope everyone can make it.

    Lynette
