Hi team!
I am going to volunteer/sherpa/ cheerlead at IMLP this year. I was also hoping to get some training done Fri/Saturday since I  am doing IMMT. Anyone else going up and plan on riding?

    @Laura Becker - check in with @Al Truscott - I think he's bringing his bike while sherping for a bunch of us...

    I'll be in week 15 of my 20 week plan for an Aug 26 race of 3k/120k/30k. I'll be swimming twice, biking twice - one day two loops, minus the out'n backs, another day one full loop - and running every day, including Sunday morning 9:30-11:30

    Recommend Whiteface Climb for anyone so inclined... I have not done it, I rode the first 3 miles to the toll booth of the 8 mile climb twice and was thwarted by heavy rain, wind, and a socked in summit both times.... It cost $8 to get past the toll gate and access the summit which seems absolutely ridiculous but the quality of the pavement is like glass and imagine the view on a good day would be worth it.... Bring gears if you plan on it as it is sustained 8%  +or- another 4% grade or so ...

    Yes, I will also be there from Thursday to Monday, & volunteering Sunday.  I am also looking to get in a trail run while there if anyone interested   https://www.strava.com/segments/10021825

    @John Bayone that looks crazy/awesome! Not sure if I am ready for that! haha
    I am def doing long run Sunday- probably around the same time as you @Al Truscott
    I was hoping to get 2 bike loops in while I am there....either Friday/Saturday starting early. Any interest? Would like to be out there with someone.

    Hey Laura, I can ride either day.  I will be at the EN dinner Thursday, and I am sure we can get a couple more folks to ride.

    Hi Robert, I saw the elevation profile of that route and thought WOW....that is no joke.  Just want to go up it, so I can come back down.

    I am so excited to head up to placid!! @John Bayone I don't think I can make it up in time for dinner....so I did not purchase a seat. Maybe you can see if anyone else is around? My cell number is 860-508-8321. Anyone else ? Maybe we could get a group text with @Al Truscott  and @Brenda Ross And anyone else doing training.

    I am doing one loop with a run on Saturday to start at 7am as I am volunteering at 1pm and am running for 2 hours on Sunday after the swim cut off. Steve and I are running down to Willmington then turning back around to meet Jason Baldamor on the course about 9 miles out from LP. He will give us a lift back to town.  Cell is 613-762-1132
