RFTCC-Wingbiter Friday 5/20

I was thinking of an easy jaunt from New Hartford center at 6 pm up to the top of Sandybrook and down by way of Smith Hill Rd. on Friday.

Why are we taking it easy? Most aren't riding on Sunday and those that are have a full day of recovery. #fullwingbiter

Saturday afternoon and Sunday look like complete wash-outs now. This ride could be the only ride of the weekend sans a shorty tomorrow morning. I am not riding in heavy rains on Sunday. Let's at least do a full Wingbiter tonight.

I am in favor of this too. Normal Wingbiter tonight mountain_bicyclist and a ride tomorrow morning mountain_bicyclist. The forecast for Sunday is deteriorating with greater than 50% likelihood for steadier rainumbrella and maybe even T-storms! zap

Perfect weather this evening!

Hi, Tim, and welcome! We meet in the parking lot behind Chatterly's just off Route 44. Bring about $20 cash, because we usually go into the restaurant afterward for a bite to eat and to slake our thirst.

Incidentally, Sunday's ride is still on, no matter the weather. Stick to your training plan. One last, long, hard ride, then taper. Trust the plan! Trust your training! P.S. I'll bet the Amigos will show up.

Amigos are starting to switch to Saturday ride.

But do we need a hillfest tonight? Have they installed a lift on Old North yet?

Welcome Tim! Hope you like hills and harassment as an excuse for gluttony afterwards (Kris only gets one wing, you'll see why if you sit next to her)

We can compromise and do Greg's route in reverse.
