Posted on the big loop thread but thought I'd also post this separately to see if anyone is doing a portion of the big loop ride next Sunday? Greg and/or I are considering it, if we can figure out logistics that include kids and a visiting grandma's first day in town.
If anyone has a sense of what time you expect to be at each of the stop points, that'd be super helpful for me in figuring this out.
TIA!

For what it's worth:
I would like to roll out with the Big Loop Ride folks tomorrow morning.
My plan is to do an out-and-back to Jordan River. I believe, round trip, it's about 140K.
I may, very well, take some flack for this but 5+ hours is more than enough time in the saddle for me.
Pace is more or less irrelevant to me. I would just like to get some long rides on the legs.
I know a few people were thinking along the same line. As usual, anybody is more than welcome to join.
See you bright and early tomorrow morning.
