Anyone headed up for the first century on Jan 13 in Schuylerville?

Not me, but looking to do my first in the Catskills in the next week or so. Where are you?

I am planning to do the Morgantown 200K this coming Saturday. First event of the PA Randonneurs' calendar in 2013. You guys ever head south and ride with those folks?

[Tom]

I might. I won't be in any kind of shape to be thinking of something like that but I've never been too bright and there's no sense in starting now. Ceceri does a great job with these, I highly encourage you to head over.

I'm down in southern westchester. I'm thinking if I can't be fast, maybe I can just ride long. :)

Saw them both, but both are a hump of a drive from Long Island. Mr Google Maps says 4 hours. Essentially requires an overnight stay since there's no way I'm leaving at 2:30am.
I really wish someone would put together something like this "downstate". The NJ Rando website looks inactive for the off-season.

Woodstock, NY
about 90 minutes from you. Anytime you are looking for a slow century, I am interested.

That is what got me into Ultras

I have not but I am certainly open to it. Not this weekend, however

This will be my first brevet with them. I've done others, just not with that crew. They have an R-12 series, so there is at least one 200K every month, even in winter. A few of the rides are in the NE part of PA, perhaps not too long of a haul.

This is only 152 miles from my home, so a better option. Probably warmer too

I've had nothing but good experiences at the ADK events, myself.

Well, one bad experience but running full bore on a hot and windy day drinking the wrong stuff was my own fault.

[dhoff]

Can you elaborate a little, if politically correct to do so. If not PM me, please. I'm looking to hook up with a rando club this year. NJ is closest to home, but website looks abandoned for the winter and no one returns email from the site. PA and DC seem to have good reputations but they're in PA and DC!!!

Tom and the gang are good peoples. I use it ride with them while I lived in Philly. Eric Keller who contributes to this site also does some rides. Beware! Tom routes can be awfully cruel towards the end if the ride. Enjoy!

Yeah, it was well organized brevet. Definitely a good, cold! ride. A hard ride too, considering the time of year. :) They sorta front-loaded the climbing on this one - after mile 60 it was fairly smooth sailing. Rode it with Eric and a fella named Keith. Eric was was a little under the weather when he was doing it but persevered.
