Finally, finally, FINALLY the MS people posted the routes for the 30/60/100 mi rides last week. I attempted to get it on MapMyRide to check out the elevation… so the lines and mileage may a little off as the grainy PDF they posted wasn't entirely clear:

I've actually been on many of these roads while hauling Cody to one of his various vet/farrier/etc. appointments. I remember thinking, "Wow, these would be really nice to bike on… too bad I'm so busy driving my gimpy horse to get fixed to have time to get out here and go for a ride." Well, now I do! Funny how things work out… though usually not like we anticipate them to.

I'm not worried about the distance (rule of thumb for all-day rides like these is that you can easily do twice to two-and-a-half times the distance you train), but rather the possibility of wind and/or rain. I'll take the latter over the former, as I've done 50+ mile rides in the rain… the most [in]famous of them being Dad's genius "let's all bike down Cape Cod in a Nor'easter" idea 10 years ago. Mom is still a little pissed about that one.

Oh yes, and the elevation map:

Hoooo boy.
