Subject: [CR]final announcement for Saturday's NJ CR ride

the weather forecast is for a beautiful day for riding Saturday, and Rita was already out shopping for food. Neither of us have figured out what we are riding, but it will be something that i have not ridden on a previous CR ride. anyway, directions are linked to a printable PDF on the website: http://studiofurniture.com/subweb/cr4_19_08/directio.pdf and the site itself, http://studiofurniture.com/subweb/cr4_19_08

ANY questions, don't hesitate to call...

The previous announcements:

> It is not long now, but still time to prepare and attend the first
   > Classic Bike ride of the season in the late morning on Saturday,
   > April 19th, Central New Jersey. The details were previously posted
   > below, but the website now reflects the second shorter and flatter 19
   > mile ride which complements the first for those that feel that easing
   > into Spring is more preferable. Both rides have numerous bail out
   > options. http://studiofurniture.com/subweb/cr4_19_08/
   >
   > The rides intersect at one point, and will join up for the last half
   > of the shorter ride. Next week I will post an overlay of both
   > routes.
   >
   > The bridge is still out, and i have worked through a couple minute
   > detour which does not have any mileage ramifications.

   > As sent last week:
   >
   > Our own Steven M. previewed the scheduled ride yesterday with me, and
   > as always, a pleasant late afternoon jaunt. No wind to speak of,
   > unusual these past couple of months. A couple of red tailed hawks
   > chose to grace us with their presence, a common but always
   > interesting occurrence in this area. Anyway, he thought i should
   > include an elevation profile for those concerned about these things,
   > so i figured out how to do it and posted it here: http://studiofurniture.com/subweb/cr4_19_08/
   >
   > It was quite interesting for me as i have been watching some of the
   > televised pro races which illustrates similar terrain profiles. It
   > is just like the Giro, 'ceptin just 200 feet verticality instead of
   > 5000 feet, and 24 miles instead of 125...
   >
   > Steven rode a Colnago, I rode an unknown lugged frame...

   > here are the previous notifications, 3/18/2008

   >
   > this is the first reminder of the first publicly scheduled CR ride in
   > the NE part of the US. The above link will take you to a possible
   > route with satellite imagery of the terrain. this is the longest
   > ride, but there are many 'bail out' points along the way if one
   > chooses. there will be a shorter and flatter contiguous ride which
   > seems to first cross paths then meet up with this ride as another
   > option. more details forthcoming.... Please let me or Stephen
   > Maasland know if you intend to come, as we want to be sure that all
   > food requirements are met...

   > here is a copy of the initial invite...

   > After some polling for availability, we came up with the date of
   > saturday, April 19th, for a tour of the rural farmlands of central
   > New Jersey. Our location is east of Bordentown NJ, and reasonably
   > accessible by public transportation of the light rail River Line
   > coming from the south and NJTransit North. Both require some
   > advanced notice to accommodate a pickup. My intention is to break it
   > up into 2 rides that will meet, one of which relieves the participant
   > of climbs and miles that this early date has not been supportive of
   > your early preparation. HOwever, both rides are suitable for fixed
   > riding, as the longer ride is my daily pedal on a 73.8 gear inch
   > track bike. I am an average rider. Please plan to arrive sometime
   > between 10am and 11am, we will leave in 2 shifts intending to wait
   > for anyone who unintentially arrives late that has given advanced
   > notice and it gives some latitude for those arriving by public
   > transportation. I have an assortment of 60-64cm bikes available for
   > loan, only one having the 'permanent' reservation of one of our group
   > members (that is the red Cooper Martin- there is a green Cooper
   > available). There are some fixed as well. All are set up with
   > clipless, but i have quite a few caged pedals to swap out. Please
   > give some advanced notice if you intend to attend, as Rita prides
   > herself in her abilities in providing an excellent vegetarian spread.
   >
   >
   > I will be following up with reminders, maps and photos of the routes.
   >
   >
   > We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible. On
   > topic rides are preferred, but all are welcome (even French
   > bikes)...If anyone has a 'theme' in mind, don't hesitate to suggest
   > it.
