North Shore Century Sept 21, 2014

I'll be out there and wondering who else will be doing the full 100 miles?

I have a few folks I know from other groups that we will be riding together with, and we are looking to keep a decent moving pace (18+) and short-ish stops.  The idea is to finish the entire thing in under 6 1/2 hours.

I saw a few others mention they are riding it but there wasn't a single thread when I searched.  PM me or reply here and I'd be glad to give my contact info out for those that are looking for some company to ride with.  And a good workout!

We are planning on meeting at the dunkin doughnuts at Belmont at Clark at 5:15. We are taking Clark all the way up so we might see you along the way. The weather is looking great. Ill be riding a gray soma with a red trunk rack.

I'm late to join in here, but I'll be riding the full century and would love to join as well! I'll probably be in a white/black jersey, riding my gray/blue Cannondale synapse. I'll be there before 6:00 to hopefully join with either of the 2 groups!

@Chitown_Mike - what pace are you guys aiming to ride? Last year I plodded along with one other guy around 14mph avg, but I'd like to pick up the pace this year.

@Deet, I'll be riding up from Logan Square around the same time - probably leaving a bit before 5ish. Let me know if you'd like some company on the ride up!

I will try to find the group at 6 a.m. as well and stick with the 18mph group as long as I can. How much time do I need to budget for packet pick up (I am pre registered)? This is my first NSC. Forecast for 6 a.m is 60 degrees :)

I'll be out there at 8ish if anyone wants a little later start time. Look for the comrade cycles kit.

If anyone is interested in viewing the 100 mile route on a "flat" map (as opposed to Google Earth's satellite view), I have a public Google Map published:

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zbgotIKnVZ2s.kewv-MQ2gA4E

I found it helpful to run the route through the GEarth's fly-through mode and follow along with the regular map.

Carb up, rest up, and oil that chain! See you all at 6am!

Steve usually only about 5-10 minutes.  They are really quick in the morning.

If it is going to be as windy as they say it is, 18 going north at least might be troublesome.  Either way a group to ride with makes this a ton more enjoyable!
