    do they have Ti and non-Ti divisions?
    
    ed

     Absolutely Ed! And there's a plastics division, aluminum, silly putty,
    etc... :-)
    
     Chip 

    
    
    Do they have an overweight, cynical Scottish division?
    

    yeah and they leave a fiver on every corner just to test yer Scottish blood.
    
    ed

    
    Is there a lot of corners? If so, then consider me there!  :*)

    The road gets *real* bad between the mini-golf place and the
    intersection with Rt. 12.  How much of this moonscape is included in
    the course, Chip?  Does the course start on 140?  From your
    description, it sounds almost like we begin on a side road?
    
    Sorry, but I haven't ridden this since 1978, so my memory's a little
    foggy.
    
    Justin

     Justin, you're right. It's rough between the mini golf course
    and the turn around which is right before the island (which is before
    the Rte 12 intersection.
    
     It's rough, but not really, really bad. If you ride the line (break-
    down lane) it's not bad at all.
    
     The start line is right on Rte 140.

     First TT was held last night. Conditions weren't too bad... Minimum
    wind, but it was coolish. We had 12 folks which wasn't too bad for the
    first one. Once we get into July and August we'll be running around
    25-40 people.
    
     They have already begun the road work near the turnaround. Some
    thought has already given to an alternate route... For the time being,
    however it's  Rte 140.
    
      Chip
    
    P.S. Results can be picked up at Gamache's

    Just make it a 10-miler for the time being, Chip.  Then maybe some of
    us can turn times like the pros did last year (on the 12-mile course).

hi chip,

i'm assuming the turn around is a simple u-turn. how heavily traveled is rt 140?

also, are there any intersections along the course at which the riders do not
have the right of way all the time? (stop lights or four way stops) for example
someone mentioned an intersection with rt 12.

one good thing about the nashua club TT course is that it's a safe course on
which you can concetrate on the ride instead of concentrating on staying alive.
all right hand turns, no stop lights...

    The Nashua Velo have folded.
    
    ed

     It's a simple U-TURN prior to the intersection. The turn is the only
    section of the course where riders do not have right-of-way.
    
     The road is travelled and sometimes you will have to wait to do the
    turn due to traffic. However, I've never been caught more than twice
    (in a season) having to wait for traffic. It isn't bad. In fact, I
    personally welcome tractor-trailers travelling in my direction! :-)
    
     Chip

    Instead of going up to the intersection of Rt 12, why not just turn at
    Pop's Dog House ? 

    Jim

     I guess the plan is that they'll be paving all the back to the
    outdoor store thing (where all the canoes are)... 
    
       Chip

    Modesty is the reason Chip wouldn't list the results for the first TT.
    He won!
    
    Congratulations, Chip!
    
    Justin

     Thanks Justin... I didn't want to mention the time to anyone.
    Thanks for not posting it :-)
    
     Chip

    Is this ride still happening?  I may consider entering on 7/26 if time
    permits.
    
    regards

     Yup... It'll run until the first Tuesday of September.
    
     Chip

     Well, we had our banquet last night. Scott Kinsman took the title for
    fastest human that showed up there for the 5th straight year. That
    56 chain ring he runs must have something to do with it!! :-) 
    
     Gotta get me one...
    
     The state has also finally got around to resurfacing Rte 140. I'm
    already pumped for the '94 TT season!!! That resurfacing will mean
    at least another 30 seconds (and it won't cost me a cent!).
    
     All in all, a pretty good turn out. There were more than 550 rides
     done this year!

    RE:19

    17 A.J. Ouellette is my brother-in-law. He broke his collar bone last
    week-end.

    Jim

     He sure did... He did make the banquet. Speedy recovery to him!

    Denis Foley, John O'Brien - two more Deccies.

did all the riders in the list go in one day or was this the summary of best
times of every rider that showed for the whole summer?

>did all the riders in the list go in one day or was this the summary of best

    That's a compilation of all the TTs from 4/27 to 9/??.  Some people go
    just once, and some make it every week.
    
    BTW - add another DECcie... Dave Bellew.
