schedule

THURSDAY
-people will be arrive throughout early afternoon as best i can tell
-approx 6p.m. departure for 30 mile ride. guessing we'll be heading to ridgeway and back to keep the hills to a minimum. the timing of this ride will be flexible and will be leaving from my driveway in back of the old bookends and beans building at 309 e. water st. any locals wanting to join can either swing by or give me a call to see if the time has changed at all. if someone from out of town gets delayed, we will delay the ride. don't show up at 6 and get pissed if we don't leave til 8 just to wait for one person. we will wait.
-finish ride, clean bikes, eat, sleep.

FRIDAY
-6:30a.m. wake-up call and breakfast
-8a.m. departure for no-drop metric to harmony and back. depending on gravel conditions i'm estimating a fairly chill pace and about a 6hr finish time.
-finish ride, clean bikes, get cleaned up.
-dinner. couple of ideas here but final decision will be made by the group from out of town. locals are welcome to join, just stay in touch as to where we're going. regardless, all will/should plan on eating everything in sight. the way the weather looks, saturday is gonna hurt.
-back to apt to get bikes set up for saturday.
-sleep.

SATURDAY
-5:30a.m. wake-up call.
-7a.m. departure for saturday's self-supported century. guessing a few of us will choose to ride this together but if anyone drops off the back or feels like pushing on you will have cue sheets. guessing gravel conditions will lead to finish times between 8-12 hours. PACK YOUR LIGHTS!
-finish is back at my apt. we will collect there and clean up/clean bikes before deciding what to do for the rest of the night. whatever that is will most likely involve an unnecessary amount of alcohol and food.
