Figured we'd meet up in Wesminster at that time.  Or 10ish. 

So just show up at the general "Welcome to Westminster" sign with my helmet on and wait sometime between 930 and 10??

Details, details, details!

Ughh... alright fine Here is the location:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Westminster,+MD&daddr=39.584433,-76.996576&hl=en&geocode=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=17&sll=39.583449,-76.996211&sspn=0.006268,0.013894&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17

Its at the end of the route.  I was trying to get an interest before going into super big details.  I have one person interested from my friends but no one on here yet.  Figure they don't wanna do 3000-4000 ft of climbing. 

Once I am healthy I will be there doing these rides with bells on

Okay so I have so far is the following:

MrReber - Insert name

Dlaxman31 - CJ

Dolelicious - Christy

Scamp07 - Steve (maybe)

Is that it?  Figure we would meet around McDaniel College around 930ish or so.  There is a local church/middle school that is right next to the school.

Here is the address of the local church:

43 Monroe St

Westminster, MD 21157-4562

Let me know what you guys think.

have you DONE the Tour De Carroll?  yikes, that is a tough ride. I was going to say in, but don't think i want to do that suffer fest again.

Yeah I did it this past April.  I only did the 36 mile loop but I'm a much stronger climber now than I was back then.  We are taking several breaks through the ride.  Come on!!! you know you wanna join us.

I might, I'm doing a 50 miler Friday morning...i just had major IT band issues from some of those short but killer climbs. one of which I thought I was going to fall over backwards!  and then I was riding my road bike which climbed much better than the tri bike. We did the 62 mile ride...

** brushes dirt off your shoulder**  Sorry I forgot your a big deal

Do you know any re-filling stations (Gas stations) around miles 30-50 that we can get like water and Gatorade at?  I had a hard time finding stuff on Google maps.

Yes, remember use quotations "I'm kind of a big deal".   Actually, the ride messed me up for my training for IMLP. I had to avoid any hills for a month! 

I remember most of it being in neighborhoods, and when we did the ride, not the best stops either. I really can't tell you if there are any stops along the way, since its all basically neighborhoods/farmland.

It really wasn't the nicest metric I've done. MUCH prefer the Civil War Century.  Now if you wanted to do that, I might be up for it!  Except it starts in Thurmont. But, its a super super ride.  I'll definitely be doing that in September.  Eat a Peach is also fun, but its pretty challenging as well.  I think thats the first week in August?  I love doing the supported long rides. You don't have to bring anything with you!

James Blackwood - 2009-07-02 12:19 AM I might be a little late if it's 9:30am.
I was just reminded that I registered for a 10k at 8:00am that morning.
If we did 10:00am I would be on time for sure.
40 min to race, 5 to get on the road, 45 to get to Westminster according to gmaps.
Just don't want to be holding up the group.
And don't worry, I'll be beaten up from the race so you guys can pwn me and leave me in the dust.

pfft well only if I can pwn you then of course we can roll out a little later.  I think its going to be around 5 of us.  6 if Steve joins.

I'd say anything around 15-18ish.  Considering it has some hills I'm thinking we'd avg a little lower.
