- 9:30aV/142424.024.00Zwift Three Little Sisters RideWayne Palladino
Sunday promises to be a wet day in the Northeast, so please join me in Watopia to traverse the always favorite Three Little Sisters route. This will be a Rubber Band / Stick Together ride, so no matter what effort you exert, you will stay with the group. We'll plan on riding 24 miles, which should take about 90 minutes, but feel free to join for as long as your schedule allows.
To join the ride you will need to follow me (Wayne Palladino WCC C+) on the Zwift companion app. Once you sign up for the ride I will send you an invitation; please accept this on the Companion app before the start. We will chat on the Discord WCC-B channel. Here's the Discord link:
Stay warm...have fun...and meet fellow Zwifters. Hope to see you there!

- 6pHP/G+/152828.028.00GRAVEL TNR*Ilona Miller
As we are entering mid Off-season, this ride has gotten faster and became what it was originally aimed to be - a gravel convert of TNR from White Plains, fast with minimal regroups.
Those who ride at a slower pace are still welcome but they have to make sure they bring a buddy - it's a night ride and it is unwise to ride it alone if you get dropped (and you will get dropped as it is unfair to the group to stop and wait multiple times or slow roll in the cold). So please, if you are unsure of your abilities, or you know you are slower than 14mph avg gravel rider - bring a friend and don't make the group wait for you.
The route will change to include some single track as well - those who are unfamiliar - it's riding easy mountain bike trails on a gravel bike for part of the course. There will be a regroup in the end of the woods segment.

Start: Rippowam Cisqua School - 6pHP/G5/122323.323.30Gravel TNR (slower version)Getz Obstfeld
Let's continue to rage against the cold and dark nights of winter with our headlamps for some cheap thrills and join me on the same ride as Ilona's, but just a tad slower - figure 11-13 mph average. Here's her abridged description:
This is a NO DROP ride, group is staying together at all times, Helmet light, handlebar light and tail light a must. Dress warmer than you would normally for a daytime gravel ride, as it gets colder as the night moves on (though you will get warmer as we tackle the hills!). The dirt roads on this route are in pretty good condition, but 32 mm tires are a minimum. Previous rides in this series have been fun and safe, so come out and challenge yourself! Meet at upper lot of Rippowam Cisqua School, off Clinton Road, Minimal reception, so load route beforehand.

- 9aAll/126060.060.00Martha’s Vineyard Memorial Day WeekendBill O'Connell
This is an Annual WCC away weekend event. Ride the beautiful island of Martha's Vineyard. Rides Daily Friday to Monday. Distances vary daily depending upon group preferences and Island weather. Groups are generally small as hotels are expensive and cancellation policies are generally 3 or more weeks in advance. But when the sun shines there are few places on the planet as nice as Martha's.
Primary Hotel this time is the Pequot Inn in Oak Bluffs. Secondary is the Dockside inn or wherever you like.
Some Caveat's : First - almost every hotel on MV now has a 3 week cancellation policy so we are going rain or shine.
Second: some may consider staying on the Cape - it can be cheaper and MIGHT have a shorter cancel policy (I wouldn't count on it) Getting back and forth is a hassle and arrival times might not get you on MV in time to join our usual 9am rides. If you try this, make certain you stay in touch by Cell to arrange a meetup time and point.
More questions? Email the leader. Better yet - send a text.

- 9aHP/G/113535.035.00Vermont Gravel WeekendBill O'Connell
TENTATIVE POSTING - Awaiting Approval of Dates by Ski Club Owners of Lodge.
This is the first of hopefully MANY Gravel weekends.
Vermont is Hilly, and I am working to keep routes around 100 feet per mile, which really isn't much different than many of our Local Rides.
Assuming Approval - we would stay at the Mt, Laurel Lodge. If we get at least 10 riders the Lodging fee for the weekend (2 nights) would come to around $120pp. Everyone must Pay in advance once I get approval as I will need to send a check to the Ski Club. We MAY be able to get Refunds of some sort, but I cannot Guarantee it.
The Lodge has Strict Rules - No Shoes inside. Clean up and remove your trash at checkout. But the place , due to those rules, is Pristeen.
Nice Bar area - large Kitchen, Large screen TV's etc.
Rooms are Bunk Rooms - so if attendance is more than 12 or so, you will probably have to bunk with someone. I am also opening the weekend to Mt. Laurel Members, so once announced, I recommend getting in payments early.
NO BIKES IN ROOMS OR LODGE - NO CHARGING OF E-Bikes even outdoors. I will try to arrange Charging with Boot Pro Bike / Ski Shop who helped me with many of the Route options.
There will be 2 choices on bith Saturday and Sunday - One easier / shorter and one harder. THe Long Sunday route is supposedly awesome for diehards.
Once I lock down the routes, I will add details.
