sweet and sour ramble redux
possible modification/update. i rode 40 miles two days ago, and almost died. there was 3000 feet of climing, in big chunks. john, and I, and nick, and starmer i assume, have heart trouble for days afterwards, on rides like that. i’m proposing a vote: the old ride plan was 27 miles to thurmont, mostly flat. then riding up into the mountains, where it would be anything but flat. i made an altera route, starting in thurmont, that takes us down through union gap, and new market, and up through the bottom of frederick. it will still be a challenge. the mod will have 2000 feet of climbing (1000 less than the mountain way), but never in a big chunk like the mountains do. it will be mostly rolling. it will increase total mileage to 77 miles, or roughly 125km. so anyway, let me know what you think. the link to the new route is here. the info, again, on where to meet and when, is here. post thoughts in the comments, por favor.
So is this the ride:
1st leg
break
2nd leg
yeah. but with less hotdogs.
sorry
i’m for short rides up cliffs, but that seems to be well established.
when is this supposed to occur?
there have been so many changes i don’t know if i’ll be in town. and where do i have to go for the start. i’m not sure if i can make it there. (oh wait, yeah.)
shorter, flatter, more booze
cory, its the third. o feb
i’ll do the girly version (no hills, no booze)
you wont drink beer upon arrival in thurmont? what about rob? does he have to work?
oh yeah, i’ll drink beer at the end. dunno about rob—i forwarded the info to him.
Beer doesn’t count as booze.
I’ve got a flask full of Bushmills and can carry a suitcase of beer on my Volpe. I’m sure the Nasal Dunderhead can cover for me at the shop.
