Plan to start ride at 9 am. Leaving from parking lot between High Peaks Cyclery & Stewarts. I have a few people at different levels joining me. Some are doing 1 lap, others 2.
If you want even more cycling, I am pedalling from Albany to LP on May 14 & back to Albany on May 16. I’m still looking for company.
Goatboy, what kind of pace will you typically hold for the Albany to LP ride? And just out of curiosity, do Goatboys shave their legs? I know, Iknow I really shouldn’t open that can of worms on your thread.
Since it will be my first really long ride of the season & the first time I have ever back 3 big day together, I will be taking the ride up pretty easy. Right now, I have only one other person riding up w/me so I expect that we will probably avg about 17 MPH over the 140+ miles. But I don’t really know.
This Goatboy does not shave his legs. Heck, I’m too lazy to get my face more than a couple times a week. Legs just seem like way more of a pain than I am willing to deal with. If I could lay down in bed, go to sleep, & wake up with cleanly shaven legs I’d be all for that.
I could really use the miles for IMC, but my base is entirely based on shorter distances right now. And I don’t even have a clue on a strategy on how to present this to my wife. So very tempting though.
Goatboy, I may have mentioned this before, but you should come up to Lake Placid for our Epicman training day, this year at 6 am at Mirror Lake Beach on June 10th (a Thursday). 3k swim/180k bike/21.1 k run. Read about last year’s event here:

Hope to see you there.
Paul,
Sounds like fun. There’s a good chance I’ll be there for it, but I need to see if I can arrange for my daughter to go to a friend’s house after school that day. Send me a reminder as that gets closer.
