    Appreciate the managing of expectations. I shall repeat to myself: “Pizza on the way back. Pizza on the way back.”

    95% confidence interval, sometime Saturday. . . . 80% confidence before sunset @ 8:28pm. Hopefully just managing my own expectations but a lot will depend on the day. Looking to be toasty and windy out.

    Easy there killa. :) Two planned SAG stops and a few more adhoc refill/relief stops anticipated. If you do fly by just don’t drink all the beers at the finish!

    Downhill sounds like a nice start but we’re staying in port Jervis Fri night and won’t have a ride in the morning. now at least we know your secret Jim. Weigh down the bike with 100mi worth of food and drinks, start at a high point, coast the whole way!

    Folks - for those interested in joining forces, or just meeting up at the end for a beer, join this WhatsApp group. AFAIK there are just 4 of us (Lou, Dave, Jim, myself), but likely (hopefully!) others. https://chat.whatsapp.com/J2Fpx5L7Nd3DGVjxIEN9xo

    I’m in. Will stay up Friday night so we can get an early start Sat. Hope Jim is right and we average 19+ but I haven’t proven I can sustain that so hope is not a strategy.

    Hmmm I may be slightly out of my league here as I was thinking something like every 35 miles or so, primarily for fluids, but also something resembling real food. I'm thinking 3 bottles (good for ~2 hrs for me) & a few hours worth of snacks on board but if this is misguided, tips welcome. If you...

    1. Definitely not. 2. Freaking badass. 3. I've recently reconnected with the M3C crew and would appreciate this connection as well. Don't have the miles of Mr. Vreeland here but think I can manage it, especially with a small group working together. Also, some experience re logistics, route...

    +1 to play the Father’s Day card Also +1 to likely have the fam help with SAG, at least at some predetermined stops for food/h2o/etc. re Kansas, I stand humbly corrected. I must have taken the flat route.

    In terms of timing, the closer to solstice the better, I may need those extra days to train and minutes of daylight. Any recommended training regiments more scientific than “lots of hours” on the bike? Also, any power pacing tips? Plenty of centuries and 1 150mi under my belt but this seems a...
