Tenative Saturday (1/27)Route

[KarenG]

I mapped out a tenative route for Saturday. Approximately 42+/- miles, leaves from my house and heads out towards the route Jay, Tracy, Charley, and myself did a couple weeks ago. I think it also follows some of the roads that were part of the Ride for the Land back in June. This will include a trip up THE WALL and O'Neil Street. For those who haven't had the pleasure of this part of Clayton, you will be in for a treat :p

There is a convenience store up on Main St in Wendell and then there's another one at the corner of 3rd St & Selma Rd. There's some good climbs getting to Wendell also.

This will not be a "no drop" ride, meaning that if you can't maintain a 15-17mph average pace, you will be dropped. We have been regrouping at intersections, so if someone gets dropped, you may be able to catch up.

Ride time: 10:30 AM
Place: My house (email or PM me for directions)
Route: Firm route will be posted by Thursday evening.
Distance: Something along the lines of 40-45 miles.
Pace: 15-17mph (end ride average). Pace during ride may be higher or lower than 15-17mph.

Garmin CRS file attached. :mad: No can do - file is too large. will email to those who have an Edge.

I'll try to get a google gmap link of tenative route posted shortly. Cue sheet will be posted by Thursday evening.

I would love to join you but I am out for a couple weeks at the least.

[KarenG]

Sorry you won't be riding for a while. Did you get hurt?

Haven't had any takers for the ride yet, but it's early in the week. If I don't get any, will just do the ole standby 25miles and maybe add some more on by riding over in your area Tracy.

[JayC]

Ill probably do it.

[KarenG]

If you want to...no problem if you don't or no one else wants to ride, it could be slightly chilly for an AM ride anyways. We can always save it for a weekend when it's a little warmer, maybe get some of the riders from Raleigh/Cary/Apex out for that ride.

I can’t ride with you on Saturday. Take a look at a small route change.
May want to take South Hollybrook Road off Third St. in Wendell and it comes out at highway 231. It is smoother and a lot less traffic.

I have always wondered if being able to breathe through both sides of the nose is all that it's cracked up to be so I am having septoplasty in the morning. Hopefully it will make keeping up with you and Jay a little easier.

LOL.. I'm wondering how easy it would be to ride around without the equivalent of a bag of cement on my back. Hopefully in about 30 more pounds I can find out :)

Hope everything goes well tomorrow and you have a quick recovery!

seems no one was interested in a ride to Wendell this weekend, 'cept for Jay, so I'm canceling.

I'm also canceling cause I've developed a rash that's kinda painful when riding, so I need to let this get better and not do a really (sorta) long ride this weekend. Guess riding the trainer all week and not using the "good" shorts caused this.

Temps are gonna be between 55-62 in the afternoon, so I may try to get out and do a short/quick 25miles. It could be less than that, depending on how things feel; maybe I can get the SO to ride too.

Guess we can try for something else next weekend...I would like to ride 42miles, a mile for every year young I am :D

Later - Karen.

[JayC]

So I dont count? :mad:

[KarenG]

of course you do!!!! i didn't mean it like that....:o

if i didn't have this "problem", i had planned on you and i riding to wendell. maybe next weekend will be good.

i'm not sure that i want to do the BJP ride next weekend, don't really care for a lot of climbing, so wendell might be an alternative. i'll keep an eye on the weather, maybe it will be nice next weekend too.

[TracyW]

The dr said there's a good chance I can be back on the road next weekend. I may be able to join.

[JayC]

I guess Ill have to find something to do around here :(
