5/28 No Official Ride

I only got two replies, so there is no official ride this weekend. I will leave this available for anyone who wants it.

Monday, however, is looking simply wonderful for our mountain ride! It was pointed out to me that I was only publishing the Hurricane Bypass route; allow me to correct that error; here is the extra 600' of climbing on a Cat 2 hill:

Hurricane Bypass	Hurricane Road

Meetup is at 8:30 at Weston’s Beach in Fryeburg; wheels roll at 9:00.

We do not have SAG this year, so pack accordingly. You need to carry a spare tube, patch kit, pump and/or cartridge; no SAG means no help, maybe for hours, depending on where you are (cell service is very spotty). Water bottles can be refilled at Pinkham Notch (mile 27), Gorham, NH (37), and at the Basin Campground (61), on the far side of Evans Notch. The Pinkham Notch stop has a café where you can buy lunch, and there are food options in Gorham, but it's a retail desert afterwards, so be sure to pack some calories.
