Best of luck to the Oh Canadians.  I have to be somewhere early Sunday so have to stick closer to home.  I'm planning to go out and do something like 115 miles / 200K on Saturday (7/22 to be clear).  If anybody's interested in joining me,  I'm thinking of doing the shorter Climb to the Clouds Route (80) + 35 miles to Cambridge (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/32810552).  I could meet at 6:00 in Cambridge or 7ish in Sudbury. I'm also open to doing a 200K perm instead if there's anyone looking to log their July R12.

Also, I've been firming up my PBP plans and it looks like my family's going to stay in Paris on Saturday so I'll stay with them... which means I don't need the hotel reservation I made for Sat-Mon before the start. It's at the Hotel F1 Maurepas which is about 20k/2 train stops away if anybody's still trying to figure out their arrangements. What are everyone's start times?  I'm in Group F with the recumbents and tandems.  Any other Sunday afternoon/evening starts who want to start thinking about meeting up?

If you want to ride a RUSA Perm instead, My Perm "Visiting Wachusett" is a 106mi perm from Medford that goes to Wachusett lake (ride up around the dam) and Mt. Wachusett visitors center. Climb to the top for bonus fun. 

There's some short dirt with the part in Leominster being a bit on the rough side (but not technical).
