We're planning to ride something somewhere on Saturday, June 27th, but details are pending, and it may be last minute before plans are nailed down.
The forecast is hot wind out of the south.  As in, 15-25 mph wind.  And 97 degree high.
 
Options are:
-Suck it up and go ride 200k anyway
-Cut back on miles to miss some heat and wind
-Ride one of several one-way perms with tailwind (theoretically) and vehicle shuttle, the "Roast and Coast" option.  We have 1-way perms from 100k to 240k or so.  This involves a little riding and a lot of driving with two vehicles.  And riding with a hot tailwind is not always the benefit one would imagine.
-Ride one of our more east-west routes and deal with sidewind instead of head/tailwind.

If you're interested, let me know and I'll keep you posted on what we (or I) come up with.  Or if you have something going, let me know.
Thanks,
Stephen H

Hi Stephen / LSRs,

I am planning on riding the Johnson County Backroads Ramble 100k on Saturday (#5744). This is a new route that I created last year and it starts close to my house. It's a very enjoyable route all on low traffic county roads between Mansfield and Cleburne and it is all paved (the route was updated in April to reroute around a short gravel section on CR 317).

Planned start is at 8 am but I am flexible to start earlier to beat the heat.
Start is at the Connect Church parking lot - 3001 Gertie Barrett Rd, Mansfield TX 

Please let me know if anyone is interested to join me

Take care,

Peter
