18 August 2012 UPDATE:
Today's ride is canceled. Tom has postponed his until tomorrow. I'll be joining him. I hope to see you there. Details are in the link below.
16 August 2012
I realize I'm competing against two other worthy rides on Saturday: Tom Hammell's Lake Nockamixon Loop, and Don Sprague's Belmar century.
However, there might be a scant few Slugs out there who either a) don't want to drive that far, or b) don't want to ride that far. For those people, I will be leading the following ride:
Pennington to Round Valley Reservoir
65 +/- miles
3600 +/- feet of elevation gain
2 rest stops
Starting time: 8:30 a.m.
Starting location: Hopewell YMCA Administration Building/YMCA parking lot, Main Street, across from Ingleside Rd, Pennington, NJ
10 extra miles* starting time: 8:00 a.m.
10 extra miles starting location: my house**
As of now, the weather forecast is calling for a 23% chance of rain, which in bike addict terms is nothing. Check this blog again on Friday night; if the weather forecast gets worse then we'll move the ride to Sunday (just like Tom is doing).
(*Yeah, I'm still that crazy.)
(**The deck is just about finished and the porch is on its way. Yay!)

Uh... you're only leaving 30 minutes for ten extra miles? So, 20mph average including traffic lights & stuff?
I might do this just to see how we do on the ride-to-thje-ride!
5.5 miles each way. So 11 extra miles really.
Oh. Ten total. Not ten one-way.
(I am SO EMBARRASSED...)
