I got in at 6am on Sunday from my night out. Dog woke me up at 9 to go out. Spent the day on the sofa - more tired than anything else but what a wate of a day. I'm mad.

Heh, heh, not quite as easy to pull off as it was when you were twenty, eh?

It only gets worse...

Really, Daniel, I'm sure all she wanted was a ride home. Thats really no way to speak of an overnight guest.

This ride sounds like it will be alot of fun, wish I could join.:(

I am going in for surgery on the 17th, so I dont think I will be making any stunt rides for a few weeks.

bring it!

this aint some roadie ass-sniffing peleton crap. we'll be regrouping at the top of the hill, but on the way up, it's every man, woman and child for themselves. :getsome:

I second the motion. They'll only curse at you if you don't get outta the damn way fast enough..........

That's Easter weekend. I'm out.

While I do my Sunday worship on two wheels, I will be doing it in CT that weekend.

If anyone is interested I'll be doing most of this ride on Sunday, plus the old crowd pleaser of Sunrise Mt. and down over towards Wallpac and up Millbrook Village.

i used to go to summer camp in millbrook village. we would go to a one room schoolhouse, each of use with a chalkboard. we'd fish in the river with string and safety pins. it was great.

Gearing?

I'm thinking about joining if I can get my road bike up-to-snuff by then...

I recall there are a few very steep ascents on rt 23. The lowest gear I have is 39/23; am I gonna' hurt myself? My knees ain't the greatest...

It looks like I can still get cassettes for my old ultegra 600 8-speed (HG50) in a 13-26. Should I grab one of these if I'm gonna' do this ride?

Thanks.

Fogerson,
I would recommend the 26 for sure. if they go up from the shopping center immediately it has a pretty consistant pitch. if you go up from the sussex side the pitch spikes a couple of times and overall is steeper.
Hope this helps.

that route is much easier done counter-clockwise. The climb up Rt23 is steady at 8%.

Sean, I assume you want to go to the Monument for pics? turn left into the park and make the first right onto a single lane road. This section rolls up and down a couple times. It reconnects to the main road just below the monument. The last 1/4 mile will be the steepest of the ride.
