It appears that the ability of this field is around 17mph (minus the
wheel-suck phenomenon). I'll try and finalize the date by July 30. I
think it would be best for folks to make arrangements for the vacation
day. I will also provide route details along with times, etc... for
planning purposes as we get closer to the DATE!
I will continue to update as names come in.

| The ninth person has signed in -- Eric Frere and welcome aboard!
Just a noteworthy piece of information... Eric owns a Merlin too!
So this may be the only chance in your lives to see so much Ti in
one place at one time!

| 2357.5 | Welcome Blackbird says the sign | YNGSTR::BROWN | | Wed Jul 22 1992 14:50 | 2 |
| Or, as you come into Hunstville Al from the west on the interstate,
there's a big (and rather imposing) hunk of Ti sitting just off the road.

| 2357.6 | ...NEVER ASSUME... | CTHQ1::JENIN::FRERE | Ellas Danzan Solas | Fri Jul 24 1992 09:44 | 8 |
| Hey Chip,
Did I say that I was riding the Merlin?? I'd be happy to do the ride on the
Marinoni tandem if I can find somebody crazy enough to be my stoker.
Of course, this may just increase the pace of the ride. Right, John C.?

I thought this was a nobody gets dropped century?
You'll start scaring people away ;-)
John C.
|
| 2357.8 | Who said drop?? | CTHQ1::JENIN::FRERE | Ellas Danzan Solas | Fri Jul 24 1992 10:57 | 8 |
| Hey John,
All I said was pick up the pace. Plus, I assume that a few would want to draft
behind the tandem.
Hope to see you on Wed.
Eric
|
| 2357.9 | THE DATE IS... | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | | Fri Jul 24 1992 12:07 | 12 |
| Well, more people can make the 21st that the 28th so...
THE 21ST IS THE DAY!
Sign-ups are still open... Maybe we can configure an "A" flite and "B"
group epending on the levels and numbers (naturally).
Also, how does an "after ride" get together for a beer/glass of wine
sound afterwards at The Days INN???

|
| 2357.10 | CENTURY DETAILS... FINALLY!!!! | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | | Wed Jul 29 1992 07:01 | 56 |

CURRENT FIELD: Jamie Ide Roland Ouellette Tom Deloria

There are still a few maybe's. I am working on a few
non-DEC folks.
If any out there feels the need to show up... Please
do!
ROUTE:
o Prominade through the center of Westminster
o Stay on Rte. 140 north into Winchendon
o Take a left onto Rte. 12 north
o Remain on Rte. 12 north into Keene, NH
o At the Rte. 12/101 intersection - Take a right onto
Rte 101 east.
o Continue on Rte. 101 through Dublin and Marlboro
o In Peterborough take a right onto Rte. 202 south
o Go 100 yds and STOP! Refuel & Regroup
o Continue on Rte 202 into Rindge, NH
o At the Rte. 202/119 intersection take a left onto Rte. 119
east
o Stay on Rte. 119 all the way into Fitchburg, Ma
o Pick up Rte. 31 and continue
o Get on 2A west and back into Westminster (WMO plant)
This should give us a little over 100 miles. If people feel like
doing Mt. Wachsusett before getting home that's fine.
Looking forward to the ride and meeting some new folks!!!!!!!!!!!

| 2357.11 | duhh, izzatt right? | NOVA::FISHER | Rdb/VMS Dinosaur | Wed Jul 29 1992 08:05 | 1 |
| 119 goes through Fitchburg?
|
| 2357.12 | DUH, DARNED IF I KNOW | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | | Wed Jul 29 1992 13:10 | 3 |
| I think it turns into Rte 31 somewhere... But you don't.
Chip
|
| 2357.13 | :-) | NOVA::FISHER | Rdb/VMS Dinosaur | Wed Jul 29 1992 13:26 | 8 |
| Yeah, I figured that out actually. Up around Ashby, 119 turns
left then right to continue eastward through Willard Brook
State Park, while at that point 31 goes straight and left.
It's the kind of turn where someone who gets carried away with going
really fast downhill will miss the turn and think that 119 becomes 31.

| 2357.14 | A NEW HEADING PLEASE, MR. SULU | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | | Thu Jul 30 1992 07:08 | 16 |
| Norm's suggestion about "mutating" the course a little is fine with
me. Of course, this makes him the point man now...
So, referring back to my original course entry, please note:
o After picking up Rte. 12 take a left onto Rte. 119 into
Winchester, NH
o Then a right onto Rte. 10 into Keene, NH
o Then a right onto Rte. 101 east (follow original course).
Norm tells me in the olden' days he used to do this witgh the
Fitchburg Cycling Club. Hey, I'm a notalgia fan :-)...

Chip,
A couple of us NUOers are considering joining the party. If so I'll
hand deliver a teeny tiny piece of that precious metal! Give me a Ti
wishlist...my Dad may well start producing Ti goodies!
-Steve
|
| 2357.16 | GREAT TO HAVE YOU | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | | Thu Jul 30 1992 12:09 | 10 |
| Great to have you!
Re; Ti goodies are tough to get for Campy replcement stuff. Shimano/
Suntour seems easier.
The wish list would go... Handlebars, entire brakeset, all
bolts/screws, headset, crankarm bolts, skewers, axles, both
derailleurs...

| 2357.17 | DIRECTIONS TO WMO (from the east) | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | | Wed Aug 19 1992 06:42 | 30 |
| Here's how to getting to the starting point:
Travelling west (from the Boston side);
- Take Rte. 2 west (WMO is about 45 miles west of Boston)
- Take the second Westminster exit (which is also the Rte. 140
exit)
You'll know you're on the right track because the WMO plant will be
on your right. The exit is right after the plant (200-300yds.)
- Down the ramp you'll come to a set of traffic lights (200 yds)
- Take a right just before the lights (there's the usual right
built into the intersection so you don't have to wait for the
light for a right turn.
- Now you're on Digital Drive and heading toward the plant. Digital
Drive is a little over a 1/4 mile long. The first parking lot
is the west parking lot. Take an immediate right as you come to it.
We'll congregate in the back part. I'll get there a little early.
I'll be sitting in the red Ford Ranger pick-up with a white cap.
BTW, I talked to Norm Flye and he may show up!
If someone needs directions coming from the west just enter a reply
here.

Attendees: Kathy Adams Norm LaFleur Marian (?)
Chip Girouard Roland Ouellette
Absent: Jamie Ide Tom Deloriea Eric Frere
Doug Beauregard
The ride was great and the route was very pretty (very rural NH).
I promised I'd embarrass the folks who didn't show up... But you
know who you are :-)
Kudos to Roland who has only 600 miles in this year!
Kudos to Kathy Adams who had an injured achilles tendon and hadn't
been on her bike for two weeks.
I pulled in with Kathy and Roland averaging 14mph.

| 2357.19 | Work work work.... | VO2MAX::DELORIEA | I've got better things to do. | Tue Aug 25 1992 08:55 | 11 |
| I missed it.
Work is my excuse.
Just too busy.
And I thought I'd find time this year to ride and work on the golf game.
Ya, right!
