Norman and I are planning to do this ride on Wednesday starting at 6pm after work because our schedules to do a R12 brevet on weekends are not working out.
The Northern Pancake is Norman's new permanent route. As made clear by the name there is not much climbing so that makes for some steady cruisung even with reduced fitness.
We should finish around 2:30am. Two weeks ago we rode a 50 mile ride after dark and it was good. With my family schedule I have done a lot of riding over the years after 8 or 9pm but having some friends along will make it more fun.
Forecast is for a low temp around freezing. So this means riding in winter shoe covers, tights, helmet liners, and having some extra capacity on the bike for extra warm layers or if you have to remove layers.
If anyone else is interested let us know.
PS - anyone have the email for "Jeff" who lives in Coon Rapids? He rides a blue Waterford...
