Re: Cambridge Tour de Grand
Binbrook Triathlon would be that day, but I don't know if I will do that race or not. THIS though, sounds very interesting, especially since I have to miss the MS Bike tour this year
ABeacher, Dee, CK, any of the TO cycle peeps? We could do an RM ride!

How far are we talking?
next up:
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out

Re: Cambridge Tour de Grand
Not sure at this point, probably anywhere from the 50 to 72?
If we got enough people we could come up with a distance we pretty much agree on (I would think..lol)

Wow's it's pretty cheap! $15 in advance, $20 day of!
I'm going camping in June and I'm not sure if it's that weekend or the one before. If I'm available, I'd be into anything between 50-100K.

Re: Cambridge Tour de Grand
I have done this twice. 50k the first time and 72k the second.
I really liked the 72k. Starts south of Cambridge, heads south into St. George and then west to the area around where Pinehurst is (Run for the Toad turf). Very scenic. Decent roads.
It is a really great day for very little money. For the rides 50+ there is a halfway support station with water, food, bathrooms.
I believe the 160k ride is a combination of the 65 and 72k routes with some extra in the middle. The halfway mark for that course ends up being the venue in south Cambridge. Have lunch and then head out for part II.
And for me...if the weather is crazy stupid $15 is not a lot of money to lose out on. just sayin'

Re: Cambridge Tour de Grand
I'm interested. 60k or 72k seems doable. 100k, well, my bike is feeling lonely and neglected, so planning that might or might not be a good idea. Not sure how it will feel in June.
The road to hell is paved. Run trails.

Gosh...I would totally love to do this BUT it's on the same weekend I'm riding the back to back 100 milers (Ride to Conquer Cancer). So, I'm out.
Next year, I'm in FOR SURE!

Re: Cambridge Tour de Grand
We're still interested. It would be great if we settled on a distance (60 or 72) so I know just how long I can put off training.

Re: Cambridge Tour de Grand
Umm, when exactly should I put air in the tires to prepare for this 72k adventure I see my name attached to? The poor Tosca ain't moved since last year. No wait, I did move it to vacuum dust bunnies once.
Cheekfully,
