With the weather in Portsmouth these past days, I'm trying to keep the momentum of NC. Yesterday I rode a variation of the Grand Bay loop that I turned into a tri-state ride (NH, Ma, Me) for 126km. Today, I took an easy (but warm) ride north through York, Cape Neddic, Ogunquit, then up Mount Agamenticus (mostly 9-12%, but less than a mile long).
Thanks to all of you I'm sitting at 1245km year-to-date (within 260km of my total distance last year).
Indeed a great ride this day with Zorro. We kicked ass, serious ass, (which is something because neither of us have one) coming home with the wind at our back. Going out we were,as Zorro said, like kites being blown around at the mercy of the wind.
Missed ya tonight guys. Wanted to get out for my first group ride but have family visiting...let's keep posting rides and build some early season momentum.
Got out myself yesterday..that wind was killer! hope you had a good one tonight!
Better than - or in addition to - ordering the jersey, we should lobby our Provincial Government to bring the {motor} vehicle act into modern times. A safe passing law being one of the items it lacks.
Several US jurisdictions have added a 3ft clearance requirement for passing a "vulnerable road user" ... New Hampshire passed theirs last year and had a fairly descent public awareness campaign
Rat: I plan to commute tomorrow (it could be cool). I leave at 7:30 to be at the regular spot by 7:45. If you are in, better call me at 7:00. My new schedule for Oromocto is Wed/Thurs/Friday, three days in a row! Hope to see you, dress warmly!
Cookie - did my Fat, Lazy Slow ride at lunch today...saw you driving out of Tim Horton's with a honey cruller in one hand and a Bowtie in the other! You're my spring hero! Hope we can get out together soon....(I'm anxiously awaiting Bubbles reply to your post)
Will see the weather in the am and talk to see if Bubbles is riding in the evening ie 530 with Zorro. Perhaps I will call you in the am about 0700. I will either be heading out the door at that time or waiting 'til the evening.
Sadly, I cannot make the social ride tomorrow night, but am raring to go on Saturday morning!
How about an 09:30 departure from the 'Y'/SS {wherever the place is now} heading for Hamtown Corner {see links above} with a "brunch" stop in Burt's Corner...
... while stopped for brunch/coffee we can decide which way we will climb to Keswick Ridge and whether we come back through Burt's Corner to the "Geesley Road" or continue south along Keswick Ridge to the 105.
The weather outlook is less sunny, but still fine for Saturday ... a slight chance of showers late in the day.
Smoothie, Firebird ... we could pick you up en-route to Royal Road / McLeod Hill
Great ride this morning. You should have seen Herc push it home from Coburns!!
Cookie, Rat only this week gave me an article titled "How Running Makes you Fat", which, as you can imagine I was only too pleased to receive! He thought I might find iti "helpful". I was going to share it with you but you really didn't fit the running part...
