Wild Goose Chase 2009

[7rider]

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.

Weather be damned!
I'm going road bike fenderless.
Danger is my business.

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?

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'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.

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.

[Zen]

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've got it and will call you.

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.

[Cataboo]

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

I think I've laid out about half of the cycling clothes I own....just cannot decide what's the right combination of warm and partially dry. I'm beginning to wish for a pair of those rain shorts that AlpineRabbit was talking about, if only to have a dry tush.

Does anyone know if there are showers available at the high school?
