Ok, I’m still trying to figure out the plan for this weekend. We have narrow streets and giant snow banks to deal with, and if that’s not enough we have a prediction for more snow. The tradeoff is whether we change the run to Saturday before the next snow storm but in frigid temperature and more cars on the road, or….. stick with Sunday and run in more snow, deal with some plows but less cars on the road.
On top of that I’m wondering about where to run. There is the planned route which is along major roads for the most part, or we keep it local and run up and down Main Street a few times.
Again, I’m still pondering and will post again tomorrow if we’re changing to Saturday. Experience tells me to hold off on changing the day, but this winter is different than past experiences.
Feel free to weigh in with your thoughts?
Hey Jim, Either day is fine, low temps aren’t a big deal,
but if it’s changed to sat please not main st
Jim, thank you for attempting to alter the SLR to accommodate our obsession..on that note, my intention is to run long on Saturday just in case… I did the same last week and glad I did. I’d rather go early Saturday in colder weather than Sunday in the wind and blowing snow… roads could be more dangerous than they already are…
Thanks, Jim….
I can help with the water stops on either day just let me know.
Jim my man! I am ok with Saturday if you decide to switch. And I love the loop planned. Maybe we can skip the part along Spot Pond on the way back since that strip of the route a few weeks ago damn near got me killed by drivers (Woodland). But otherwise my vote (if it matters hahah) would be if we go with Saturday, to keep the same loop.
Hi Jim! As you know I’m good with Saturday!! I personally feel like Sunday’s winds and snow will make visibility so poor and I wouldn’t feel safe. I’m going to run Saturday either way! Thanks for considering!! Keep me posted on your decision!! 🙂
Hi Jim! My vote is also for Saturday. I will run Saturday either way, but would love to be with the group. The Mystic Valley parkway in Medford/Winchester has been my regular run these days because it is well plowed, there is actually a shoulder on the road for most of the way and traffic isn’t bad. That may be part of this weeks route, not sure. If it’s not, then “never mind” ???? thanks for throwing out this option. Lee is in for Sat too!!
