OUTRIDERS!

 Outriders registration is open for this year!  Yay!  June 19!

I have done this ride twice now with [livejournal.com profile] inseriatim.  [livejournal.com profile] omegabeth, who has volunteered at the rest stops for the last three years, has decided this year to ride with me.  Together we are going to be "TEAM HELPFUL" and we are now soliciting volunteers to join us.

Seriously: you will probably never have a 130-mile bike ride more fun than this one: you get five rest stops with snacks and sandwiches and brownies, at the end of the ride you're in Provincetown and you get brunch the following morning before getting on the ferry back to Boston.

If we get enough people on the team, we can look into splitting a bigger fancier room at a B&B!

If we get enough people on the team, we can look into getting TEAM HELPFUL JERSEYS.

Oh this is going to rock.

Hi. Pick me. Please?

(Really? I want the brownies :-)

I am asking my awesome coworker if she wants to ride with you guys!

I so totally want to do this, but I'm not sure sixteen weeks is enough advanced planning for my body! You can try to convince me this weekend, though; I'm thinking about it :)

Start by riding with us and see how it goes from there!

That's an idea :) You should totally keep me in the loop when you make training-ride plan.

I'm tempted, but this is completely and utterly not the year for it, for easily-guessable reasons.

This sounds so awesome, I am seriously tempted. But I've never ridden 80 miles in a day before (I did 50-ish in high school once) so I'm totally not qualified. Let me know about training rides, and I will give it a try.

It's totally worth it. A ride this length, it's really all about the pacing. If you can do 50 miles in a day, you can do 80; if you can do 80 miles in a day and pace yourself slowly enough that you're not exhausted at the end, you can do this ride.

If I can get my riding regimen going, I'm with you.

I'm totally interested in doing this again!

Yay! That would be so awesome!

Hmmm ... that feels a bit early in the biking season for me to be up for that kind of a huge haul ... but I'm really interested. I mean, TEAM HELPFUL JERSEYS. OMG.

Do you guys plan to do training rides? How often? Etc.

We'll definitely be doing training rides, but we haven't even started planning them. I'll be doing some more biking to work this spring, natch, but I'll need longer rides than that for sure. Watch this space!

I'm tempted but not enough of a rider (yet) to manage it, I suspect. I could, however, volunteer as a crew/helper at the stops.

That would be fantastic if you wanted to! [livejournal.com profile] omegabeth can tell you all about the volunteering bit. :-)

Oh my goodness, I forgot all about this!

I'm REALLY interested in going, not sure if I can ramp up to that much riding though... Should I pick your brain here or via email/IM?

Either! I'll probably be posting more about this in the next few weeks too. :-)

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I'm interested, but I'll have to see how my commuting works out.
