    DB, if there's rain are you still planning to do the 43?

    If it's raining, and I bring the fendered bike, I'm more likely to do the 25ish ride, but if the temperature is warm enough I might do 43. Kinda depends on how early a start I get. I don't want Regina to finish her metric hours before I lumber in on the Glorius.

    That reminds me...what time do you want to get there on Sunday a.m.?
    Erica just texted me: she's leaving the house at 5 a.m.! and plans to be there to ride for 7:30. I was sort of envisioning 8ish.

    Ugh. I was going to try to ride with you this time around, but 8:00am... And I've gotta drive down from Easton... Maybe Coach Erica can stop at my motel and roust me out of bed.


    (Just kidding, I'll be there )

    Rolling at 7:30? That works, but let me know what you decide. I'm still hoping to meet up with you guys.

    I can roll anytime- it's not like the dogbeast will let us sleep in. I need to figure out how long it will take to drive from Easton to Cambridge.

    Kalidurga, where are you staying in Easton?

    I'm booked at the Days Inn. I did a Google directions thingie and it said the travel time from Easton to Cambridge is 25 minutes. I'd add 5-10 to that to get to the high school in Cambridge, since it's a short ways back off of route 50.

    What's the rush? It's a weekend, for god's sake. I'd rather start at 8, or even 8:30 if Tam wants to. I can ride down to the high school if you want to drive over earlier, Regina.

    I don't know what her rush is.
    I sent her a reply and told her to take her time.
    8 or so works for me. The "official" start time of the metric is 7:30, but you can start anytime, really.

    My riding partner and I are leaving my house at 3am on Sat. IF we drive straight thru, we should be there in 7 hours. Mind you, I will need several pit stops along the way, I have a weak bladder and a need for coffee....So we might make it there by noon-ish. We plan on riding and rolling around town, we are staying at the comfort inn btw..and because of the long trip home, we will start the ride at 7 or 730 on Sunday morning..

    Bleahhh. OK Annette is not coming now. Too bad. I cancelled my motel for Friday night and will arrive Sat sometime prob between 4-7pm. I may not have internet after Fri night. So if either Zen or DB still has my cell # stored in their cell phones, can you give me a call and say where you are going for dinner and if I can join you at least I'll know where to go. Thanks

    If the reception runs late, I guess I'll be dining at the Wawa.

    Well they say 40% rain for the morning hours... which means 60% chance no rain. Still debating though bringing CF road bike, or dependable Portland bike with fenders and a trunk to stow the rain gear? Decisions, decisions. Oh and the gearing is the same for both of them. LOL.

    Bring that pretty Portland.
    I probly do have your cell # but if you want to make sure PM it to me.

    I'd ride the Mariposa but I've never ridden it long distance.
    It's very tempting, though.

    I'm seeing everything from a 50% chance to a 70% chance of rain and thunderstorms on Sunday, I have a feeling we're going to be wet.

    Why have I lacked the foresight to hook up an umbrella holder to my surly before?
