S24Os - planning ahead and inspiring others

[CommuterChick]

Last fall two coworkers and I tried our very first S24O -- in this case, with a fourth coworker, non-cyclist who wanted to go camping too, driving sag later in the day with LARGE tent, stove, etc. But we loaded our bikes with sleeping bags, pads, personal gear for our first attempts at working out the kinks. For those who know Boulder-Weld-Larimer counties, Colorado, we did a figure 8 route from Longmont up to Horsetooth Rez and back, about 85 miles RT.

Well, now we're planning a brainstorming session, inviting several other Awesome Babes on Bikes, see if they'd care to try the adventure, and come up with various destinations we could try throughout the summer and early fall.

As we are all newbies at the S24O drill, I would really welcome any suggestions y'all might have for our brainstorming session, and for keeping it realistic -- resources, tips, etc.. We're sending out the http://www.bikeovernights.org/ site, along with the Grant Petersen article http://www.adventurecycling.org/defa...rsen_S240s.pdf (of course, awesome pix from our adventure last fall, see attached for a Loveland lunch break shot)

All ideas welcome! And for those who know Colorado's mountain passes, we are NOT suggesting riding any of those, not on the menu this time around.

Thanks!
