Weekly Wed Night C Ride?? - Feedback/General Request of Interest

[Adam Marks]

I am posting to check on NCC member rider interest for a Wed Night C Ride, leaving Pulaski 5:30.  The route would be the flat, 22 mile loop of River Road(s) thru Hatfield and returning thru Hadley.  The pace would be in the range of 14-16 MPH, swapping leads occasionally, to maintain pace, and riding as a group.  

(This regular route would be 'faster' than the D Ride that I lead on thursdays- from Florence.  We may or may not 'tail' the A/B ride, also leaving out of Pulaski)

I would interested in co-leading such a ride, if there were sufficient interest.  For example: if there were replies  of 6 or more NCC members  that would be interested in attending "semi-regularly" and if there was 1 or more co-leaders, out there.

(NOT starting this week Wed May 14th)

Thanks. Happy Riding.

I'm interested. If there's an organized C ride on Wednesdays, I'll join it quite a few times. I'm happy to help co-lead, if it's a route I know, etc.

Nice!   I plan to post a  NCC WNR C/C-Minus weekly Series on the Calendar for each Wednesday night during the month of July, starting July 2.   On River Roads in Hatfield and Hadley, the ride will swap leads, generally maintaining an established pace.  Look for an upcoming posting for July on the 'NCC Ride with GPS Event Calendar' for route and ride details.  https://ridewithgps.com/clubs/15095-northampton-cycling-club/events

Great to hear. 

As we move towards regular Wednesday C rides, I'll float another idea, in case anyone is interested. 

During summer months, I always like to ride longer than starting at 5:30 pm allows me to. So, once Wednesday C rides get going, I'll start riding earlier, arrive at Pulaski Park by 5-5:15, and then join the C ride, which is what I used to do back in the days when there was a Wednesday C ride.

In case anyone is interested in joining, I'll post my planned "early" ride. The ride would start at 3:30 pm at Pulaski Park, cover somewhere between 20-25 miles at an average of 16-17 mph without stopping, with the firm goal of being back at Pulaski Park by 5-5:15, in time to take a breather and then join the 5:30 pm C ride. So we will have a pre-set route, but we will modify it if we need to (for example, someone gets a flat tire, etc.). This would be a no-drop-within-reason, please-be-self-sufficient ride. Because those are the roads I know best, we'll start in noho but then head to East of the river, so I  know how to modify things as needed. If anyone wants to plan something similar West of the river, we can do that too.

If anyone is interested, drop me a message and we can talk further.

See you on the road, 

Jaime
