Informal Thursday intro-pace 18 miler from Easthampton

[Chris Stratton]

Had some discussion with a couple of other riders from the Intro group
about doing an additional informal little ride of our own again this
week, and want to extend an invitation to others.

This time we'll be riding from an Easthampton start on Thursday

Plan is a loop of Pomeroy Meadow, Glendale, Burt's Pitt and a few
other things, pace will be comparable to the intro group - might get
up to 15 mph on flat sections but this route has some gentle hills
where we'll definitely be substantially slower. Overall distance is
18 miles. In suitable spots we may try to practice rotating a
paceline as we did for most of last week's longer flatter ride, but
there's no obligation to participate in that or ride closer to others
than comfortable.

Tentative route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39997783

We'll meet at 5:30 the trail parking lot behind the Easthampton Mill
buildings - access is from the driveway just southeast of the Ferry
Street rotary -https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2748677,-72.6585415,17.72z

I'll personally be riding there from Northampton so if anyone would
like to meet at Pulaski or similar to ride down together drop me a
note and we can coordinate.

Helmet, water, and spare tube required, blinky light recommended.
This is not technically a club ride. Given it's likely be a small
group of 3-5 email to know who's coming would be appreciated.

I didn’t realize that this was going to be an evening ride. I am working all day Thursday, so I probably not be able to join you, but if we get done early and I can muster the energy, I’ll try to.
