Northeastern Centuries

[DeniseGoldberg]

Denise, Spazz, and anyone else:
Do you know which day(or both) you will be riding the seacoast ride?
I am thinking about coming up for it, and would love to finally meet all or any of you.

I'm registered for Sunday - hopefully I'll be recovered from my (almost) 2-week September tour around Prince Edward Island by then (I'll be getting home on Wednesday of that week) and be ready to ride! The seacoast in that area is gorgeous, and unlike many other states (Massachusetts in particular), the road in New Hampshire pretty much sticks to the shore. In fact I rode there yesterday - you can see some photos from my very misty foggy ride (yes, I know, I can't believe I rode in that wet!) at http://denise.smugmug.com/gallery/525582. The first page of photos in that gallery are from a ride I did in May, the rest are from yesterday. (And just to show you that the Seacoast Century can have good weather, there are some photos from that century in 2002 on this page in one of my biking journals. I'm hoping that doing the ride this year will help me to remember the route in southern Maine so I can wander up there more without a map - the New Hampshire coast is easy since the road parallels it, but I find that I still can use a map (or cue sheets) for Maine!

The Saturday ride is already full, so if you're going to ride, the only choice you have right now is Sunday. I suspect the ride will fill up too, so you should probably make a decision soon! Registration is at http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1215205.

Let me know if you're planning to come up for the ride. It would definitely be fun to meet.

Of course I have to warn you that if it is a bad weather day it's likely that I won't ride...
