So who's gonna be there and what ride are you doing?
How will we know who's who?
Me- 25 miles and a spanking new AV jersey

Me: Nope. Gonna take in the Ed Sanders Memorial 'cross race at Lilypons instead, then maybe head up to Gettysburg for a ride. Hope you ladies have fun, though (whoever's going, that is)!
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Random babblings and some stuff to look at.
Ah, the memories.I started biking again last year and that was my first ever organized ride. I had been riding about a month and I think I did the 32 mile route.
Hmm, not sure. Anyway, it was also my first ride clipless. I did a 0mph fall up a steep hill. I was just happy there were no witnesses.
It is surprisingly hilly, even the shorter routes. The countryside is very pretty though. Make sure you get there early and get moving with the pack. The after-ride food didn't last very long. They didn't mark the route very well last year but they did have the Baltimore Cycling Club women out in force to help out. Very nice to talk to.
I wish I had fenders back then because the roads didn't dry out till later in the day. There is a nice restaurant at the entrance to the park that has some good food if you need a bite before heading home. Too bad I live in OR now or I'd definitely see you there. Have fun!!

I'm still on the fence on this one. It's a 3 hour drive for me so I'm not liking getting up at 3am and driving 3 hrs to ride a bike when I can sleep in and do it at home for free. On the other hand, the local kayak concession is sponsoring a Pedal/Paddle for Cancer that day, and that should be a lot of fun too. I can donate the $ I didn't spend on gas. There's a 50/50 chance I'll be there and of course I'll be sporting my new favorite jersey as well.

PS Now if only my sister would invite me to stay at her house - that would put me 2 hours closer and I could sleep till 5:30. LOL Such a deal.
Yeah, I'll be there. We should organize a Gettysburg Ride, though.

I'm registered for the 46-mile hill crank. Not sure I'll make it up there, though, as the weekend looks to be busy.
