"I was looking at the scheduled rides this weekend and noticed that Robert Gray's STS-A19 ride is doing 105 miles. The STS-A23 is ""only"" doing 95 miles.
If I want to push myself, should I go with the A19?

P.S. Is John Z and his A23 team getting soft?"

I saw that too. Nice route, I may go on it myself...

Well, you've got a point there
It's really only a 3 mile or so difference. Since Robert is starting out in Central Park, one needs to account for the 7 or so junk miles that immediately follows. [Yes, A23 bias is rearing it's head here :-]
Anyway, either ride you decide, you can't loose. They're both quite nice and challenging. Maybe one will be rained out-on Saturday. Who knows? Then there's the opportunity to do both in the same weekend. Wouldn't that be grand?!?

Not This Weekend...
Since a many of the upgrades to my bike came as a gift, it would be wise to continue celebrating Mother's Day on Sunday...
Anyway, while Robert's route is quite nice, we have three 1000+ vertical foot climbs to conquer. While the current forecast for Saturday is not encouraging, inland may at least be dry.

Thanks
I am going to Syd's today for the appropriate rain gear I currently lack.

So does that mean there will be a ride in the rain?
Or rain cancels?

Steve;
Its another iffy forecast. An occasional shower would be a go; any indication of steady rain all day then postpone.

Where is Syd's? I could use some additional rain gear too.
