Hiroshi, I've read the reports posted here, and would consider riding with you next year if you think I could handle it. Ann has suggested that she and Trudy...
You are definitely double material. The key is to do it slowly, but steadily. The killer on a double is stopping. Stopping adds time, but does not get you...
Bruce, Thanks, as always, for the encouragement + advice! It's amazing how many of my preconceptions and assumptions--about what I could do--have been blown...
Ave, If you want to do the double next year, that' great. I think the important point for us slower group to finish the double is finding out a pace that is...
Sorry Ave; I'm still getting through this season. It's way too early to put a training calendar and race schedule for next. Catch me in November. Many races...
Ave, Not sure what the total cumulative climbing is, but the route is within 333 feet from the lowest to the highest point. About as flat as you can make a...
Bruce, Thanks for the link and info. So, I assume that no one had an altimeter with them on previous runs? The C Paced century was 4862ft over 101 miles....
Some of us are looking for other riders at 14.5-15 pace to share '09 Double Century ride. (Current group includes: Bill O'Connell, Lisa Baker, Ave Karel,...
All, Well, so far there are 15 people interested in the B Pace Double Century for 2009. (approx. 14.5-15mph with only short rest stops) Is there anyone...
Last Sunday, I did 66 mile Alice's Restaurant loop from Salisbury, CT to Stockbridge, MA and back. The ride goes through Great Barrington on the way back to...
I prefer the route from SUNY, for a few reasons - 1) It's more "epic"...it just seems more fun and interesting to ride from Purchase to MA and back. 2) Even if...
Josh and Kate, Thanks for the input. Someone else responded about the looping idea: "the need for support goes way down and confidence up". But your...
Ave, You don't want to over train. You build up to it. I think bruce does a 125 mile loop a few weeks earlier. Just think - the double is just two more...
On the subject of training rides, each of the ones used by Bruce is out on the cue sheet. In particular, I have enjoyed the hundred miler out of the Katonah...
Marc and Dave, Thanks for the input. Bruce has told me to think of the ride as (4) fifty mile rides or (8) 25 mile rides. It should help manage the the...
Added thoughts on B paced Double: As others noted, there is huge factor of telling non chalantly friends and family that you road up to Great Barrington from...

Thomas, Thanks for the time you put into this post! Some of it sounds daunting, of course. Leaving as early before sunrise as possible is a good idea....
Brad Kenyon and I are planning a century ride which will use the upper loop of the club's Double Century route. We'll start and finish somewhere around...
