Oh...and for those of us staying in B&B's or other options...we should be able to load up with ice on a daily basis! WooHoo!

Nah, we're not doing the C&O ride until the fall. Join us if you can!Quote:

I saw that.... wish there had been more on C&O. A friend of mine here did the C&O last year. I told him I did want to talk more about it with him but I don't think he rides in winter. I will hit him up for info eventually.Quote:

And holy moly - the pix of snakes curled around his pedals - that would have freaked me out big time!
I haven't finished the magazine yet but I'll get to it once I finish Bicycling.
It occurred to me that it might rain on this trip.
I'm OK on top but what about the bottom?
If it's warm, I don't worry about rain on my legs. If it's cooler, tights are fine. I'm not a big fan of rain pants, since they get so hot.Quote:

Sweet! Have a fun trip!
with these
Hey all, would it be ok if we nailed down some dates for this, over on the Yahoo groups thing that Zen set up? If you're interested in the ride, but haven't joined that group, PM Zen.
The urgency for me is that my dog sitter takes a 2-3 week vacation in October, but she said she'd work around my schedule if I could let her know what it is before she makes her plans.
I'll figure out some date options and send them through Yahoo.
I have to get ready for work right now but will get back to you all later at the group site.
I'm leaning toward #3 on the list of dates.
if you don't get emails from that site.
Right now it looks like only three of us are going on this trip!:mad:!:mad:!
I may be able to do a one day ride with you, but I have not received any info about the Yahoo group. Can I join?
Just PM your email address to zen and she'll add you to the group.Quote:
