Yikes...I'll be there, but it's going to be cold and windy! I may need to borrow some full shoe covers? I don't think toe covers on summer shoes will cut this ride? Lookin forward to meeting this group!
Here are the GPS cues for the few early-birds that want to add on some miles prior to the 9:30am long ride. This adds 13.5 miles, so we'll end up with 52 sub-freezing miles for the day. This 8:30am (sharp) "warm-up" ride will only go if the main ride is going, so watch the bb in the morning.
Tomorrow's a good day to pull out those insulated water bottles that you use in the summer -- they'll help keep your water bottle from freezing. Maybe a teaspoon of gin or vodka would help too. :)
