I would go with either!

Sorry guys, I had not thought about the importance of re-fueling stops. I explained to Teigyr yesterday that I don't normally eat anything on shorter runs, and only start thinking about it after 50 miles or so.

Now restroom stops--that's a different story !

The one starting from Black Diamond Bicycle shop sounds good for the start, though. That way, if I can persuade Mr. East Hill to come, he can escape after the first twenty miles, and I would be close enough to home to get back easily on my bike .

Start time, and day?
