Legs Of Steel, Week 5
==UPDATE==
To beat the rain, ride starts at 8:00
Memorial Day Tune-up: Raymond Hills
This weekend we have the ever-challenging Raymond Hills loop, featuring six Cat-5 climbs totaling 4000' of climbing.
The temps look to top out around 70° in Raymond, and Saturday appears to be the better day of the weekend so far. Plan well, as refueling stops are few and far between:
- Intervale Market at New Gloucester Rd (mile 14)
- Dunkin before we climb White Oak Hill Rd (small detour down Rte 26 at mile 26)
- Circle K at N Raymond Rd and Rte 26 (mile 48)
We start at Mabel I Wilson School; I don't have vetted alternate routes, but this appears to be a possibility. It is untested and offered without warrantee, either expressed or implied, but it offers 44 miles, 2200 ft of climbing, and you still get to tackle Valley Road. Be sure your phone is charged—I have no idea what's out there (Outlet/Quarry Rds).
If you have not been with us on our recent series of longer and hillier rides (or just want something shorter/flatter this week), take a scroll thru our past rides (listed in the Blog Archive, lower right)—something should spark your interest.
We will plan to start at 8:30, but I'll be keeping an eye on the weather: if Saturday's weather changes, I am willing to adjust times or bump to Sunday if that turns out to be the better day. Stay tuned.
