2011 Bon Ton Roulette

Anyone riding the Bon Ton Roulette this year?

Oooo....that looks really nice! DH and I haven't signed up for Bike VA yet, as we're waffling back and forth.....

Have you done it before, Kmerhrzad? How are the hills and the weather that time of year?

Becky,

I have not ridden the Bon Ton Roulette yet but am considering doing it this year. I rode Bike VA last year and had a great time, but the Bon Ton Roulette looks like it'd be a beautiful ride all around the Finger Lakes in a new part of the country I've not ridden through.

In looking at the weather from past years, it appears temps are 60s as the low in the morning and highs of 80s during the daytime, this is from memory, you may want to check again. There are photos from previous rides and you can get a feel for the weather from them. I believe there are some pretty hilly portions, being that the area is a glacial landform.

The cost isn't too bad and breakfast and dinner are included in the registration fee of $525.

A bunch of people I was skiing with this weekend were talking about doing it in 2012.

Any particular reason in 2012 and not 2011?

They've already committed their vacation to other trips in 2011.
