WingBiter 6/19 at 6pm from new hartford center
I know Greg wont make it this week. I will talk to Doug tonight to get a route for this week.
see everyone at 5:45 for 6:00 departure
It might be a good week to have the ice cream ride...

Would it make sense to come back , or , go out 219?
If we continued up 219 instead of turning on Case and then went down 219 back to home that would cut off about 4 miles, also eliminating the stretch on 44 (a good thing). I'd agree to that. I like the beginning of the route though with the two climbs that makes us work for the ice cream. I don't remember if we we ever climbed up Indian Hill and descended West Mountain.
You'll be cresting Case Street at sunset with that beautiful vista in front of you... Too bad you ate all that ice cream and you feel like you have to vomit.
I think that 27 miles is on the short side even with ice cream stop. not to mention 44 is better to ride on than 219. cars travel at about the same speed but on 44 there is a 8 foot shoulder to ride in where as 219 as about 8 inches or less.

There is a rule about posting in a thread and not planning on riding the ride...

I was thinking more of getting off Route 44, but I do think we need to earn our ice cream
