Aug 10 Route to Riley Tavern

In an effort to remain true to my scientific training, I must go on vacation (again) next week.  It would appear that my former precipitation hypothesis has been challenged.  I showed up Monday and it failed to rain.  Therefore, in order to rigorously test the BrickO= rain hypothesis, I will be absent for the Riley Tavern Route on Monday.  Jim and Matt will be your tour guides.Due to the rapidly disappearing daylight, routes will become shorter.  Sigh.  The Riley Route is approximately 25 miles.Jersey update: they arrived today and look spectacular.  If anyone is interested in placing an additional order, I think Hincapie Sportswear will honor the current pricing through Aug 31.  Shoot me an email if you are interested.Newbie update: Welcome Kaiya and Tom to the illustrious ranks of Drafter.  Apparently, Tom has another ranking... that of Cat 2 racer.  He was humble and tried to hide his quadzilla legs beneath bike shorts, but after the first climb, his secret was out.  Allegedly, Kevin baited him to sprint up the hill, but I think he is incapable of generating less than 500 Watts.  Just a guess, since I don't have a power tap (not that power tap training was a topic of heated discussion over drafts and dinner).   Kaiya was so exhilarated by the riding experience that she purportedly stayed up until 1am, ordering new bike shorts and shoes (borrowing Tom's pair 2 sizes too big with 10 years of wear warrants an upgrade, I think).  Welcome to the Draft.
