All-
With the Bitter Pill rapidly approaching, I need to get out and ride more the
next couple of weeks (and hike, and paddle, etc etc). With that in mind, I will
be doing some training rides in Waterbury (on the Perry Hill trails) the next
couple of Friday afternoons, and all are welcome to join me. This Friday, the
17th, we will plan to meet around 3:30 at the trailhead parking down by the ice
center in Waterbury (email me at batesg@... if you need directions). Look
for me on my green hardtail Kona. We will depart the parking area at 3:45
sharp, so don't be late. I plan to ride for 2-3 hours depending on weather and
trail conditions, and the skill level of those who show up. For those who
haven't ridden here before, it is awesome, with lots of climbing, and lots of
great downhill singletrack.

Next week, depending on weather and conditions, I may do a more "epic" Friday
ride. More to come on that next week.

Drop me a line with any questions, or if you think you can make it. Should be
fun, and both rides will be rain or shine (gotta mimic true race conditions,
right?)
