I'm skipping the Greenwich swim if there is going to be  a BT New Haven ride!  I rode 50 miles of hills the day before Ridgefield, Kelly will just have to cowboy up!    

Seriously, if people would prefer a shoreline loop here is an option http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ct/new-haven/593346543 this is a one-way ride, but we break it off at Short Beach on Branford and loop back, can even go up Route 17 and go back through Hamden.  I can also make something up.  Out to Madison is almost 60 miles round trip from NH

95 will have light traffic on a saturday morning in both directions..   


I guess I have to pull out my big girl bike shorts (and not whine).

I might be able to join you guys - I am up in West Hartford though so I think I would be about 45 minutes away or so? Is there any consensus as to how long of a ride it will be?

I have 3 kids ages 4yrs and under - so life is crazy - just did my first tri on Sunday - finally - and it was great...again, sorry for the short and hijacking intro....Nice to meet you )

i would hope we have a 20-30 mile loop, so those that want to do 1 can and for those that want to go 2 loops, that is good also!! and some may want to ride then run. 

i am hoping 7am is good for everyone to start at, that way we are done by 9ish or 11ish

how does that sound??

where are we meeting, have we figured that out??

3)a 20-35mile loop


I didn't look at the routes Jeff put up yet but if none of them is a 25-30 mile loop...Jeff will figure #3 out....(we haven't met yet but welcome to under the bus)

Im up for riding as much as 40miles!

I'll post a loop that is 40 miles but passes back by Yale Bowl it will likely be out through woodbridge (hills) then out to the shoreline and back.  Will post tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

My name is Donna and I live in Danbury. I'd love to join you all for the ride. I have to be back in Danbury by 12pm though, so 7am is great for me. I'll keep an eye out for the final time and starting point. It would be great to meet more triathletes

Folks-- I have a bulging disk and cannot ride until at least friday (had PT for last 10 days and seeing ortho wednesday).  I hope to ride saturday but I am not sure right now    as I don't want to jepordize Park City and Hartford Mara.

I will post a ride from NH tonight, directions to Yale Bowl and will be at the ride site Saturday AM to either ride or see everyone off.  This really SUCKS!!  At least I can still swim.  Meh.

Here is a proposed ride:  the first 20 miles are yale bowl through downtown new haven out to lighthouse point and back through wooster square and looping back to yale bowl.  The second part would be the hills of woodbridge.  I have no pride of authoriship and would be happy to modify the ride.  I was just trying to create 2 20 mile loops one relatively flat and the other relatively hilly.

Oh that stinks Jeff I hope your back is feeling better quickly!!!.....Thanks for the route! IF you can't make it..I propose that we move the ride over to Branford area since Rob? isn't coming either..Unless someone else knows New Haven, it would seem silly to ride and not have someone with us that knows the area!!..I know Branford, Guilford... New Haven not so much!! So  keep us posted and I hope your back is feeling better ASAP!!!!!!

Feel free to move the ride.  Branford is not that far away from New Haven and I am not optimistic right now.

This might help you guys/gals if you're not well versed on the roads and climbs in the area.
http://www.ctbikeroutes.org/

There are some decent routes in there out of Branford, Guilford, Madison.  It also tells you generally if it is hilly or flat.  Can't comment on anything else though.  I'm not sure there is anything out of East Haven...

hi guys,
i posted a ride that goes along the shoreline from new haven thru branford all the way to guilford and points east, in case people want to see elevation/turns. since you guys are starting at 7, i will have to play catchup with you since i won't leave the hospital until 7 am. i'll pack up the bike in the car on thursday night before heading into the hospital, and just drive out to meet you guys. Depending on what route you take, i might drive ahead, bike back to pick you guys up, and then keep on riding with you (ie, drive into guilford town center, park the car, and bike westward towards you). Looking forward to saturday!!!

Hey Gabe there is no reason we can't wait up to start for you if you definately get off at 7am. Is that solid or is there possibility that you will get hung up and have to bail?..also where did you post this ride..I looked under routes here..the one that you made...sleeping giant 30ish miler looks kind of fun/interesting?
