Depart: 9:00 sharp from Federal Hill. Show up at 8:45 for schmoozing. (If someone wants to lead a group from Faunce to Federal Hill, that would be fine too.)
Route: http://www.brentacol.com/rides.php?page=view&ride_id=20
(This route is somewhat shorter (but still about 70 miles) and has a few fewer hills than the last one I sent. But this is a nicer route, and I really don't think anyone will complain about a lack of hills...)
Anyone with a Garmin or similar GPS device should download the veloroutes TCX file so that we have as many people knowing where they're going as possible. There are also several good ditch points for people who want to do shorter versions.
Pace is going to be a little tricky. It seems like this will be pretty well attended, so the likelihood that we'll find a pace to fit everyone seems slim. I'll be in shape for a moderate pace, but 70 is still a bit long for me, so I'm guessing I'll be dragging by the end. That's why I'm hoping for several people to know the route and we can hopefully divide up as needed.
And lastly, I haven't heard from many people about the following vehicle, and definitely not from anyone volunteering either a driver or vehicle, so that's probably not going to happen unless someone jumps forward.
See if you can make it. It will be fun and hits some of the best hills in RI.

You realize that there's a criterium at Ninigret on Saturday, right?
Rick Newhouse Criterium. Saturday April 17th. As much as I'd like to join your ride and partake in some soul-crushing (or get crushed? who knows?) I need to be down there supporting the ArcenCiels.
Yeah I know. And honestly, (don't tell brent or the rest of my team) I would much rather race at Ninigret to the point if i do anything on Saturday, it will be at Ninigret the bane of all self proclaiming "hill climber" bike racers in New England.
But Saturday has yet to be finalized. Hell at this rate I might have to ride my bike down for the race if I go and hope that I can find a ride home after my race... all up in the air...
There were two crashes at Ninigret tonight! Both times it was a single person who maybe struck a pedal or just lost traction.
