This coming Sat., 5/23rd, I'm riding 113 miles from Pawling to Great Barrington
and back.
8:30am start. Brad Kenyon is planning to start from Sleepy Hollow at dawn and
try to get to Pawling train station by 8:30 to join me. Who else would like to
do the 113 with me?

After Saturday, I'm not sure I'll be able to schedule a weekend date for an
additional long ride. Brad and I may schedule a longer ride on a weekday if you
are interested in that.

On Sunday June 14th, I will plan to do my longest ride, distance still TBD, but
hopefully 125 to 150 miles using the same roads + additional roads going south
toward Croton Falls and then back to Pawling. Who would like to share that
ride with me? (Brad is planning to do the Double Century on that day)

As a modest B rider, this is my big challenge for the year and I would enjoy
sharing it with similar minded riders!

Best, Ave

loop again from Wingdale. I'd like to try to target 125 to 150 miles as the
final goal.
