3 possible weekends left this month for the next installment of the century a month. As I'm away the final week of the month with work and wouldn't be riding during that week, it means I've a preference for this next two weekends.

This weekend I've a preference for Saturday 13, but could do Sunday 14 if required. Next weekend I can only do the 20th. Start time for me would be 8am at 90th St on the East of Central Park, can meet riders along the way if required.

Route is mapped, bring your climbing legs, this ones going to hurt, around the 70 mile point it gets nasty Twisted Evil

Hey, I might try to tag along this weekend, though I don't think I've got a full 100 in me so I'll probably just cut out at some point. I'm assuming all the local trails are not ride-able right now, so the road's going to have to do!

I'm with G. I was thinking maybe a short 2-3hr jaunt tomorrow morning. Although, any reports on road conditions? Could be a bit dangerous...

Currently trying to decide whether to ride tomorrow or if Sunday might be the better option. I've no idea on road conditions out of the city.

Next weekend has better looking conditions at the moment for the next 100.

Not sure if I'm responding to late, but yes they were fine today, and should be good for tomorrow.

John, if you made it out today, give a conditions report please. Seems like it would be very wet out with the melting snow.

Nice job!

Nice. I did 24 miles today in Central Park and it nearly killed me. 4 months off the bike has left me in a serious fitness deficit...

I got dropped by a pensioner on a stationary bike at the gym and had to leave when she embarrassed me by being so kind as to hold my hair out of the way as I puked from the shock to my system from the exercise.

How's March century shaping up? It may be too soon for this weekend for a 100 miles, but it's going to be nice. Let's plan something.

Haven't ridden for two weeks after being away with work and then ill, so while I'll probably go out tomorrow it won't be anything huge.

I doubt March will be next weekend, maybe pencil in the 19th.
