I'll cope.. or take shitty pictures. Actually, probably both.

Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..
As of now, I'm still in!
Not sure how long I'll stay at the track, I have to be back home to feed the dog by 7pm at the latest

Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..
Forgot...
Rode the end of this today.
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=...e3ac281bf97044
Rode right around 5:00. Very moderate pace. Behind traffic most of the time.
42.15 miles.
59.15 minutes.
Roads generally fine. 107 once you're near Pittsfield is a bit rough in the "center" of the lane.
Loudon Ridge Road has 1 spot with sand still covering most of the roadway, but it's avoidable.
Loudon Ridge is more interesting than it looks on the map :)

Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..
Louden Ridge Road will have sand year round! Don't know why but it does...!

Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..
Dave, one of those roads you pointed out to Doug in your super secret PM that I somehow have knowledge of was super sandy early last season when I rode it with you.
I am not familiar with one of the other roads. Interested in that.
T* Road is somewhere in the US. I'm pretty sure it's right behind waldo.

Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..
I've been accross all these roads. A week and a half ago there was still sand in several places. North Road wasn't really any worse the Louden Ridge Road....
BTW...that post was there as a test to make sure the link worked! I deleted it immediately and sent a PM to Doug so he could decide if he wanted to make the changes!!!
I thought the shortest known interval in time was the time that elapsed between when a light turns green and the guy behind you honks. I'm rethinking that now...!!!!
-
Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..
Fixed my post. Sounds like your info is better than mine. So I'll just stfu, show up, and ride. :hellyeah:
FWIW: I practically never honk my horn when the light turns green.

Dave, I appreciate your change. I've been that way once with Kenn. I have no issues with any one making a suggestion for one of my rides. I'll study the map a little so I don't have the 'blinker' ride that I led that one time ;) and we'll be all set.

Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..
I'm hoping to make it up, but I expect to be tied up changing tires until 10:00 or so... May just slab it up solo after I'm done. What time is the Rookie Race again? noon?

Racing begins at noon.
The Rookie race is the first race of the day.
Although they don't specifically give times for the races, logic would dictate that the rookie race begins at noon.

Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..

Re: SATURDAY 4/27 Ride to the Races..
I made plans to meet up with a friend right before you messaged me on face space Doug so I'll be finding my own way up. I'll see you there though.
