I know a lot of people are doing the NCBC ride, but Brian and I are planning to ride the first leg of the Cup and Cone route (see the Cup and Cone thread for link to 50 mile cue sheet) on Sunday morning if the weather is decent. I'm not sure how far we will ride but it will be at least 30 miles as we at least want to tackle the big hill on Lystra. If I'm still alive at the top we may go a little further but we won't go more than 50 miles - it's an out and back route so we can turn around wherever. We will be riding at my pace which is ~14-14.5 mph depending on hills - I'm willing to go a little slower if anyone needs to, my main goal is to get to Lystra and try the triple hill before Cup and Cone (and rumor has it we're riding up Lystra next Wednesday). I was thinking we would try to start as early as possible but probably not earlier than 8 am. If anyone is interested in joining us let me know and I can firm up the details as far as time and place to meet. It starts at the corner of Cornerstone Road and High House - I think there is an office park there we park at if I remember correctly from last year.
