If I go then 7:00 works for me too. Being home in time for dinner earns lot of HTP (home tranquility points)!
What do you guys think about millstone? Is it at all comperable to KT? I haven't ridden there yet, but it is on my list to check out this year.

I haven't done Millstone, Killington, or Mt Snow.....we will have to check them out.
We can meet for carpool at Newport Rec Center at 7AM on the 15th.

I can't make KT this week - bummer. Have a great time.
I've been up to Millstone a couple of times, it is definitely worth the trip. A bit more technical than KT with more rock/root sections, and the views of the granite quarries make it interesting (also great during a hot spell since the ice stays in the rocks until mid-summer, so when the wind picks up you get an air conditioning effect).

Sounds like PJ won't be able to make the trip. Jessie, you still in?? How big is Millstone and is it closer or further than KT. I don't care where we ride as long as we get in 5+hrs.
Still meet at 7am?

I can't take any time off this week. My work schedule just got filled up with lots of must-do stuff.
I am still interested on a weekday kingdom trip some other time.

OK. Well, since no one else can ride and I already have the day requested from work, I am just going to do this road ride instead.

Turned out to be a great loop. It was a beautiful day for a long ride. Only had to deal with head winds a couple times. Loved all the climbs, well maybe not loved them, but happy I did them.
