Early season rules = No ripping any legs of until after the first stop.
Seriously it's quite a bit slower pace and shorter distance: 18 mph at 198 watts for 34 miles versus 21 mph at 245 watts for 50 miles in mid season.

If you don't have a power meter to measure watts. Go by rate of perceived exertion. Put it in a spread sheet, and mail it out to those of us with power meters. We can then do a side-by-side comparision and tell you if your RPE matches our wattages.
is that?

bull valley is fun, but a trip for me. what time and how far you planning on rolling? if i come up you would have to promise we hit all the steep rollers. 
your early season is my late season.

Sorta...
My buddy is bailing on me. He said he wants to bring his scooter home to work on that instead. What eve...
As for me:
I've got a baseball game to shoot in Woodstock at 10am for the paper then i've gotta do some "real work" stuff from 1-2:30 in Crystal Lake.
I'm not sure what i'm going to do. If someone was interested in checking out Bull Valley though, i'm def. going to be riding at some point.

Probably going to be riding up in Bull Valley Saturday afternoon if Aham gets his self up out of the southburbs. I hear he's having a wild party tonight while the family is away. Couple of Diet Vanilla Cherry Cokes and a slice of thin crust pizza and you know he'll be down for the count.
