CX Ride - Saturday Oct 18

Anyone interested in a dirt/CX ride this Saturday? A couple of options (or propose one of your own):

(1) From Berg Field in East Hartland - Can also do a shorter 45 mile version of this.

(2) From Canaan - I'll probably get us lost.

Post up if interested and we'll figure something out.

Interested.

Or...

(3) Come to Litchfield and I'll lead the ride. And I promise I won't get you lost. I can create a route this week and post if there's interest. As a bonus, you'll get to scare the crap out of some Manhattanite leaf-peepers.

Isn't there a by-law or something that you guys can only do CX rides in the dark?

My post was merely a ploy to draw you out.

Well played John !

Here you go

The start point is Bantam Courthouse lot. I don't guarantee this is the exact route we'd do, but it's close. Ride time will be pushing 4 hours, in spite of what Strava says.

As a bonus, an Anderson Cooper sighting is guaranteed. Well, his house at least.

9:00 is fine with me.

Okay, then let's do 9:02

"The start point is Bantam Courthouse lot." I always get that confused with Rip Torn's driveway.

No one gets that joke but me and the VP of Litchfield Bancorp. And Salisbury and Bantam are not very close to each other.

I like the way the ride started with "Come to Litchfield......" and now it's starting all the way down in Bantam. Let's just cut to it and say we are going to meet you at your house. I promise to take off my Horst spikes before I come in and start making your breakfast.

In reply to pcunningham

Yes, it's all part of my master plan. But if you are coming, I'm cancelling the ride.

In reply to wpprescott

In that case I am in!

Oh great, now we have to dig up some podium girls.

In reply to DinoSore

You bury your podium girls?

I get it.

How terrible would a mtb be on this ride?

The podium girls will giggle.

In reply to DinoSore

Ignore him. MTB would be perfectly acceptable.
