@Jules just a bit far for for me 😅

i forgot to mention that I signed up for this train accessible gravel ride on Oct 13, probably not very intense, and would appreciate some company.

Is that race accessible by Metro North @Jules ?

and Will, I remember we talked about that one! I’d probably be down for it assuming it’s not the same day as the Kissena Fall Classic

If you don’t mind a 33 hour trip... 

@RobertMullen awesome, hope you can make it

I’d been up for the dirty apple also
which option did you pick?

@RobertMullen that is some insane elevation in one ride. 

I'm thinking of doing the Old croton aqueduct ride , Sunday , riding to peekskill , grabbing a beer before taking the train back to grand central.
Company appreciated

@Mark Taylor nice! Rotten to the core, the 63mile option. Would also have joined you this Sun, but unfortunately I'll be in Jersey

@RobertMullen @Mark Taylor did you guys end up signing up?

I actually never ended up signing up! I reg'd for a cross race on saturday not realizing the date overlap. Enjoy it though, looks rad

I didn't Will , enjoy

Super early, but Reg is open for Rasputitsa and I think I'm going to sign up! Its at the end of my spring break/the day after my birthday and it sounds like a trip! Theres already ~500 folks registered so I'm going to try and get in soon.

thinking of signing up for the 100k, too..

I just signed up for the 100k (!!!) but it seems like way more people registered for the 70k now that I look at it. Is that the main event? 

@Kevin Man lets get on it 

@RobertMullen I just signed up for the 100k, too!

oh man, you guys are gonna make do this -- 100k is about 3 days longer of a ride than Farmer's daughter in the snow and cold!

This looks awesome. If I was in any way fit or if I had a bike I would do this, but why is it $150 ? That seems extortionate for a bike ride.

@James Reeder @RobertMullen @eloy @PatrickGrehan following up to our conversation yesterday, I looked into room availability in my timeshare in nearby Smuggler's Notch (about 10 miles away) and there's plenty of it. Can you guys let me know how long you were planning on going for? Anyone else interested? We can get a large apartment that has a huge couch and plenty of room for sleeping bags (if that's how you roll). There's also a ton of room for bike storage (this is primarily a ski resort so the rooms have long hallways for stuff). I am thinking of going up there with the family starting either Wednesday or Thursday and going home Sunday morning. Anyone is more than welcome to join us for the whole stay or part of it. Just let me know when you're coming. 

Excellent - thanks @RobertPeras ! 

Looks like 144 spots still left overall before the ride fills up.
70k or 100k? I've signed up for the 100k but can change entry to 70k on BikeReg. 

As for getting there, I expect I'd head up on Friday and return on Sunday, but lots of flexibility at this point.

Yeah let’s decide on 70 vs 100! Like James, I’m signed up for the 100 already but am down to change if that’ll entice more folks. 

Signing up tonight for 70km

70 km sounds like a good option. Btw I checked the location of the race and it's a bit further away from the timeshare than I thought (it's about 65 miles away). Just let me know if anyone is interested in crashing with us and I'll make sure I get a big enough room. 

Hmm I’ll probably want to scope out a place a bit closer to the start 

*officially* changed reg to 70km

I am "VERY TENTATIVELY" & "WILL CANCEL LAST MINUTE" registered for the the 70km.

Can we get a headcount of who might want to grab an AirBnB in Burke, VT? Trying to sort out how many beds are needed

Yes from me for an AirBnb in Burke. 

+1 (but with all the caveats above)
