Tunnel Ride Gravel Grinder, Saturday, 12-19
Here's the route , featuring lots of quiet dirt roads, not too much vertical, and the usual guaranteed celebrity sightings* along the way. CX or MTB. Ride time will probably be 3.5-ish hours; winter pace. No good opportunities en route for liquids and food so bring your own. And the highlight of the ride is a trip through the Steep Rock Railroad Tunnel where we will pause for a photo**.
9:00 AM, departure from Bantam Post Office lot, GPS 41.726143, -73.237308
*Celebrity sightings may vary and are not guaranteed. Houses claimed by ride leader to be those of celebrities may actually just be owned by New Yorkers with expensive cars. Sightings of Kevin Bacon are always possible but not a certainty. Nevertheless, all ride participants will most likely be Two Degrees of Kevin Bacon during the ride whether they know it or not. See store for details. Not valid in many states. Your mileage may vary. #twss
**Photo may not be possible after you crash in the extremely dark and slippery tunnel so don't get your hopes up and bring plenty of ibuprofen/whiskey for post-crash therapy. It took them 9 months to build the damn thing and you'll only be riding in it for 9 seconds so stop your whining right now.
Mmmmmm, bacon.
Previously scheduled holiday festivities shall prevent my participation.
Once again I'm working. You need to consult me before posting these. 😜
I'm not around on the 19th either but would like to ride this the following weekend if the OP is flexible.
I also am out of town, but should you end up rescheduling it, I can do the following Saturday.
Will try to make your ride, had been thinking of a similar ride Sunday. Okay if I list it with LHCC?
Chris: Feel free to list the ride on the LHCC email. The more the merrier.
For everyone else who can't make it...you can all feel free to do the ride a week later but I'll be in AZ where it will be warmer. Or not; it may actually be colder.
Even though no one has responded they'll be there, this ride is still on. So feel free to show up last-minute...
I'm planning to be there. If anyone else is interested in carpooling from Canton, I can take 1 more.
