2012 TOSRV

Nate & I are planning to ride TOSRV this year. Neither one of us has done this ride before.


Anyone else?

Too early for me to say, but thanks for pointing it out. :)

I did that ride may times, very cool. Riding a tandem?

I'd like to do it again this year and would appreciate joining a carpool. Please let me know.

Plan for headwinds and very few hills. The rest stops were good with really nice people. They were 25-30 miles apart. Also, there's a flood wall in Portsmouth that has a huge mural, it's blocks and blocks long. I believe the route goes right along the flood wall.


Have fun.

BTW, from the point of view of someone used to riding around here, this is a very easy ride -- if the weather cooperates. There few hills and lots of pace lines to join. You can just ride along til a pace line passes you going a bit faster than you can go by yourself and jump on.

The weather last year was perfectly nice. However, the year before the weather was horrible, with strong headwinds both ways.

The camaraderie is great.

@edmonds59, I think we are going to ride it on single bikes.


To folks interested in carpools, feel free to email me and I'll collect names, etc. We'll figure something out. marymeg ... gmail
