Tour di Stupid (Lite) planning thread

[melissam]

11/15 works for me. I'm looking forward to my triumphant return to the Junction Cafe.

OK, someone has to ask....is this a rain or shine ride? The descent down Mt. Hamilton could get interesting with its steep grades and cattle grates. OTOH, it is the Tour di Stupid Lite, so not being smart enough to come in out of the rain should be encouraged.

I'm in too!! Hopefully it won't rain, but... I cannot wait to meet you lovely ladies!

Nah, this is strictly a fair-weather ride.

We'll leave the really stupid rides for the randonneurs.

[maillotpois]

d'oh! I was going to say rain or shine!! we need rain, after all.

Darnit, I may have a conflict on the 15th. I need to be done by about 3:30 so I can get home by 4. What do you all think?

I can arrange to be collected by a friend if necessary, meaning my own SAG if I can't meet my deadline.

I would expect this ride to take 8 - 10 hours, depending on how much hanging around one does at the places to stop - Grant Park, the summit and the Junction Cafe.

I average in the high 12's low 13's mph when I do Jo's 200 K which has as a similar amount of climbing, but over more miles.

Thanks Veronica. Well... sigh. Can we do this on 11/9 or another date? I'm sorry to be a nuisance.
