| I'm up for it. Nashoba starts out from the Sheraton
Boxborough at 10:00 every saturday, they X-C Ski or bike according to
the weather, distance and pace according to who shows. Since I just
got new skis from Santa it will either shine or rain. Would you like
to start from there with them, or shall we make up our own ride ?
"Fixed", you say ? Somewhere else I mentioned that I don't
spin very well, I think my lowest combination is about a 68 inch
(48 x 19; weird huh ?) Anyway, it would really be nice to ride fixed
with someone else and stay together more, I hate getting dropped by
the freewheelers on sharp turns and long down hills, even though I
usually catch them on the climbs while they tangle their chains.

Ok, 48-19 then. I have all the cogs from 21 to 13 in 1/8". It's more
important to be riding the same gear as every other fixed gear rider. I
haven't set it up yet, but it should be a trivial matter to do so tonite.
Let's let this weather situation develop today. If there's snow, I'll pull
out the X-C skis. Otherwise the fixed. I really think that Sunday will work
out better for all reasons, although I'm not counting out a Saturday ride.
I'd rather get together with a few folks and not a large group. I have a
friend who is planning to ride with me this weekend, so ther would be at
least three.

| Well... ...I hate to be accused of stating the obvious but,
...it looks UGLY ! out there. My guess is that this stuff is all
going to freeze tonight, except where the towns make brine bath
puddles for us. Unless something very different happens soon I would
say that X-C Ski is out too, so... ...another time ?

12.8 | Post St.P's celebration head clearer... | MENTOR::REG | Life is NOT a spectator sport | Mon Mar 09 1987 14:17 | 15 |
|
Not much activity here for a while.
Just thought I'd mention the Gamache open house ride, scheduled
for this sunday, March 15th. Its a short one, about 25 miles IF YOU
DRIVE TO IT, about a metric if you ride from Hudson or Princeton and
back, or a century if you go from Hudson to Princeton to Fitchburg to
Gamache ride to Princeton to Hudson (which I might, if I get to hear
that anyone in Princeton wants a riding partner, and the weather is OK
(hint in nested parenthesis)). The roads are usually relatively clear
of cars on this day, due to a lot of unclear heads caused, I suspect,
by merriment associated with St P's celebrations the night before.

12.9 | Tryin' ta plan a little Hills ride; sooooon.... | MENTOR::REG | Life is NOT a spectator sport | Mon Mar 09 1987 14:33 | 20 |

I have recently driven from Amherst N.H. to Keene, three times
in the last month or so. Each time it seems to me that it would make
a nice bike ride, once the snow and ice clear. A number of folks
seem to have done most of it as part of the Fitchburg century, but
their loop turns off of 101 to come south on 31 and misses the peak
of Pac Monadnock (sp ?). Other loops do the Cathedral of the Pines
trip and approach it from the other side, visiting Jaffrey, but
I want to ride over the top. We could probably get about a 150 mile
loop in if we start from almost anywhere in the "Greater Maynard
Area", preferrably a dec facility for parking reasons.
I can't make it this sunday, George Gamache ride, but any sunday
after that would be fine as long as we don't wait until it gets
*TOOOO* hot.

Are you going to provide Sag wagons?
What about water stops?
How about century patches for our touring shorts?
Are you going to use your touring gears?
Here he is, folks, over ***forty*** and drumming up a century-and-a-half over
the *ABSOLUTELY* hilliest route New England can offer. I believe the entire
route is uphill...allllllthe way. And knowing Reg, he's liable to do it
with his one speed 52X14!!! (at 100 rpm average).
Seriously....
Reg, you are the most ambitious rider I ever met. I just
wish I had half the gumption you do.
I really do admire you! Keep on keepin'!

| RE: .9
I rode part of that route, from Amherst NH to Peterborough, over
the peak (actually a pass between Temple Mtn and Pack Monadnock)
a couple of years ago. My lowest gear was 42 x 23. It was a bit
of a grunt with those gears, but not too bad. I'd be interested
in meeting up with you, probably at the intersection of rt 13 and
101, depending on the details of your ride, i.e., when, how fast,
etc.

| hi,
Regarding this ride over the southern part of NH, count me in.
I've ridden out from Cambridge, where I live, to do a climb of
Pac Monadnock (sp?) in a day. The only problem I found was
that the auto road up Pac was too bumpy to get any traction so
I had to walk a lot of sections. I would like to wait until
April to do something like this since I'm currently recovering
from a minor cycling mishap.

England. It is interesting if you do the Miller State Park road
to the summit of Pack whenyoucanseethetopthetoughestpartisinfrontofyou

Last October 18th, I did Bristol, NH, E 104, N 3, E on 112, N on Bear

Mike...could you define 'a couple of memorable hills'? I'm looking to
do my first century, and yours is one I'm considering. I don't want a dead
flat one (too boring) but neither do I want a mountainous one. I'm not
familiar with that area.

| Kevin:
Overall the CRW route is moderate terrain, but not flat.
In general it is well suited for a first timer who has done
reasonable preparation.
If you have done at least 80 miles recently, I'd say go for it.
Pace yourself and do it at your own pace.
To qualify for the patch, you have 12 hours - for most first
timers, more than enough time.
Feel free to use all of that time.

A friend brought this ride to my attention last weekend. Since I am
only 1 mile from the ride start I have no excuse to not go.
SUNDAY MARCH 18,1990
Meet: Swift River Elementary School, New Salem, Mass.
Take Rte. 2 west and then Rte. 202 south for about 6 miles.
Take the first right after the New Salem Restaurant. About 1
mile down this road on the left is the school.
Depart: 10:00am promptly.
Route: Clock-wise around the Quabbin Resevoir. We will use routes
202, 122, 32 and 9. THIS IS NOT A FLAT RIDE. Approximately
60 miles long.
The leaders say to be prepared for the weather. Last year the temp.
dropped 20 degrees and started to rain. A lunch break is planned in
Ware. They are trying to get a sag but don't have one yet. They said
if you can't make it you are on your own.
A number of people from local bike shops and from Gamaches will be
attending.

Wheelmen. The ride will start at Westboro (Mass.) High School at 9am.
We'll be on back roads most of the time and cover about 32 miles at a
moderate pace, probably 12-15 mph., with two stops along the way. There
are 3 hills and the rest is fairly flat.
You don't have to be a memeber of the bike club to join the ride.
However, you must wear a helmet.
Westboro HS is on West Main St. (Route 30) about 1/2 mile west of
the intersection with Rt. 135. If you need directions or have any

12.30 | Manditory helmit?? | NQOPS::THIBODEAU | | Wed Aug 12 1992 10:31 | 11 |
| Ya know yes I live in NH. so I beleave in these kind of things so on a
non sanctioned ride how can you make wearing a helmet manditory? In NH
if a motorcycle rider wants to be IMHO "dumb" and not were a helmet
then that thier choice. I can see in certain race or organized rides
where liability could be a factor to mandate helmets but not for a
Saturday afternoon ride. People will wear them because it's the right
thing to do.
Alan
And yes I were a helmet every where I go. :-)
|
12.31 | the club's choice | SHALOT::ELLIS | John Lee Ellis - assembly required | Wed Aug 12 1992 11:01 | 14 |
|
This is a club-ride, hence "sanctioned." The club may or may not incur
liability - usually you sign a waiver anyway - but the club may just
have a policy of "You ride with us, you wear a helmet" to encourage
helmet use. Shouldn't be a big deal.
-john
PS: (more appropriate for the Helmet'88 note?) On yesterday's totally
unsanctioned Tuesday Triathlete Training ride, there was one rider
without a helmet. He was fortunately *not* the one who touched wheels
at 30mph and did a highly airborne header, demolishing his helmet and
resulting in lots of road rash. The rider walked away from it (but
will be sore today!).
|
12.32 | Didn't sound like a club ride. Sorry | NQOPS::THIBODEAU | | Wed Aug 12 1992 11:08 | 6 |
| Didn't sound like a club ride sorry. Of course I still think we have to
many rule and regulations, but like I said I do wear a helmet and
especially during a race where accidents are very likly I think they
should be manditory.
Alan
|
12.33 | | SHALOT::ELLIS | John Lee Ellis - assembly required | Wed Aug 12 1992 11:11 | 2 |

Very reasonable. Agreed - too much regulationism. :-)

12.34 | HELMET REQUIREMENTS FOR SEVEN HILLS WHEELMEN | AKOCOA::FULLER | | Mon Aug 17 1992 10:41 | 9 |
| This is simply a policy instated by our club. If two riders touch

This was put into our bylaws back around 1985 or so. If you are a
member of 7HW and have an issue with it, please bring it up a a board
meeting or regular meeting, those not members shouldn't have an issue
with it.
