Sat Ride 12/12: SP,
http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11398803 I had planned on a ride up to Mt Riga and then Mt Everett from Salisbury, but I seem to have an underwhelming lack of interest.
The weather report seems to be good for Sat so unless something changes that is what I’m shooting for. This will be a 43 mile ride with 1800’ of climbing. It has a few steep pitches toward the beginning while we’re still fresh, and also a few, good quality, dirt road sections also near the beginning. I plan on leaving the North Canaan RR station @ 10:00 am with lunch enroute at the brewery on Rt 7 in Great Barrington. Let me know if you will join me. Don
Don,
I was planning on doing two dirt road rides this weekend, so I will plan to join you Saturday, unless another LHCC ride comes up, and lead my ride http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11138713 on Sunday. Okay if I let others know about your ride?
I can add you to our weekliy emailed ride list if you like

Christian, you can certainly let folks know. This is not really a dirt ride. It just happens to have few sections with dirt roads. Also, this is an SP ride so we travel at 10 - 17 mph depending on the road surface and pitch. I come from a mtb riding background so dirt doesn't bother me, but it does bother others. If this works for you I'm always glad to have company. I have 4 going so far.
Christian, LOL Your route up Mt Riga Rd is exactly what I'd planned to do this weekend, but couldn't find any riders who wanted to play in the dirt. Feel free to put me on your e-mail list. dhm43@hotmail.com
Don,
I hope to see you on my ride as well!
