RFTCC-Wingbiter Friday 11/17

6 pm from New Hartford center. Dress warmly. Cross bikes. MTB also okay. Road bikes, not so much. Here's the route. And don't complain that it's too short unless you've ridden any of the last three Wingbiter's--which you haven't. (It's short because I'm riding the night before and going hard on the weekend.)

It’s not long enough.

Love, Doug Gerard

How come the start and end are in 2 different locations?

Then we can go back to the beginning. Greg likes dead ends. Speaking of which, we can always do Henderson just to add misery and miles.

So I made a mistake, alright?

I'm in. See ya tomorrow

Does that mean you’re gonna make it longer?

Love Always, Doug Gerard

I've got a suggestion to avoid Torrington roads and get some more off road riding. Head up Niles after Shady Brook and we can go around the lake exploring some scout roads, etc. Might be a bit shorter though.

Any chance we'll be road riding again?

Let's put it this way: a mountain bike would not be a bad investment for the winter months.

If Tim was in charge of the food bill for a while he could save up for the bike

Is anyone interested in a Riverton loop prior to the Wingbiter?

Maybe meet at 5 pm?

sounds like a fun night and I will try to make it My lower back has acted up again so I am hour to hour

I'd like to Bruce but struggle to get there for 6. After the ride loop? If not I probably won't ride. It's a lot for to get out for 14 miles. We could try a LaSalle ride one night where we do the Thursday night gravel loop. LaSalle has open mic night on Fridays, good food and drink too. Just beer but it's good beer. Just a thought.

i'll pay for food if you buy the beer

but really, i have a mountain bike but its a dog on the roads. maybe I'll upgrade

I hope to be there in time for the CX ride tonight. I would also be in favor of some winter road rides going forward. A split squad might be indicated.
