Sunday Long Ride - weather permitting

[JamR]

Need to start getting some long rides back under my belt.

I'm thinking of doing the Blackstar/Motorway loop on Sunday morning if anyone's interesting in joining me.


Will probably start riding around 8:30 or so.

Thanks

What all does this loop entail? I know FXrob and I have been thinking about wanting to check Blackstar out during the winter months.

If my memory is correct............16 mile fire road climb to the top, 3 mile singletrack back down, and 7 miles of road back to the vehicle.

Nothing very techinical, just a fun steady ride.

Might be a nice change of pace from the old Old Camp.

Someone used the calender! Woot woot!! \/ \/

Church and Sunday pretty much take up my whole Sunday . . . no ride for me

[pshloss]

I'm up for it. What kind of pace do you ride? What's with "Rides the Huffy?"

[miznaxxx]

Oh you know, someone hacked my profile.

[LBmtb]

Haha, the rides the huffy thing was my doing. Once you reach 10 posts, it turns into "rider."

[miznaxxx]

Can you add "with kickstand" to mine

[mytrustysteed]

so what kind of pace are you riding this sunday? I'd like to ride out there before my first counting coup next month.

[pshloss]

Not sure who you were asking, but I'm doing my first Counting Coup in March, too. I did this whole ride in about 3-1/2 hours last time, which was fast enough for the cutoff time. Made it to the bottom of Silverado Motorway in a little over 3 hours (cutoff is 3-1/2 for normal start). But haven't done a long ride in like 6 weeks. So this will be a good test of whether I've regressed.

I need to also get ready for the VQ since I'm seriously out of shape right now.

Sunday I plan on cruising like I would for the VQ and see what type of shape I'm in.

Going to go steady but not hard.

I'll probably get to the Blackstar gate around 8:00 to 8:15.

See ya there! O
