Hey AG - do you recommend using a CamelBack for this ride? (As I learned on our last TE ride, it's a fashion no-no for roadies, but...) I guess another way of asking that is - will it be convenient to refill water bottles on the ride?

It looks like I'll have room in my car for someone else (and their bike), if anyone wants to carpool...

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you guys, and meeting Slinkedog for the first time!

I'll be breaking in a new saddle (or will it be breaking ME in?) - it seems ok on tonight's quick 15 mile ride...
