Mordecai, Sebastian,
Is there any on-line cuesheet for this ride or a cuesheet for a ride that most resembles it? How hilly is this ride?
Thank you.

This Sunday's ride
Sam,
No, the cue sheet is original, so you won't find it on-line. It avoids as much as possible roads that are commonly used in NYCC rides (e.g., Saddle River Rd, Western Highway, South Mountain Rd).
There are no gratuitous climbs in this route, and nothing extremely steep. But there is quite a bit of climbing. Much of the climbing comes between the two rest stops, which I hope to keep fairly brief, and are 30 miles apart. It would be wise to bring some pocket food.

Turn around point
I may join the ride. Do you have a turn-around point chosen that you can share with me?

Mordecai-
What's your ROUGH estimate of when we'll be back in te city (I understand it's somewhat hard to predict)?
I'm assuming we ride in/out of the city, i.e., there's no train involved?
I'm asking b/c I need to squeeze a run either before or after the ride (before would be really hard, so I'm hoping we'll be back early enough...)
Thanks!!!

Returning time
"Inga,
No train is involved. From the Boathouse back to NJ side of the bridge is about 82 miles. I'd guess a 2:30 return to the bridge, but it's hard to say with club rides -- it depends on average speed, but also on duration of rest stops and mechanical problems, as you know.
Looking at the forecast, I'm not very hopeful that the ride will happen Sunday, so please check back Saturday night to see if it's cancelled (or perhaps postponed to a later week).
Mordecai"

Thanks!
Yeah, the forecast looks pretty bad for Sun (so given that, I'd have to ride Sat instead--to make sure I get a ride in this weekend). Too bad.
But if you reschedule, I'd love to join in.
Thanks!!!

Mordecai, weather isn't promising for tomorrow... Some of us need more time to get to the BH. Could you please make the call for the ride by 6:30 AM on Sunday?
Thanks,
S.
