    Xrayted......Hopefully my DH and I will be able to make the CB ride, but now it looks as though that may not happen. We're driving up from Dallas and thought we were going to be able to leave Thursday morning (the 12th) which would put us there Friday afternoon. That would give us Saturday to recoup from the drive. But now we may not get away until Friday which would make it tough. We'll have to wait and see how things work out next week. I really hope to make the ride and meet up with you there. If it is a pretty hilly ride, then 33 would more than likely be my limit also. I just started riding in July and so I'm pretty much a newbie too. I'll keep you informed and let you know if it looks like we'll make it in time for the ride.

    AllezGirl and Xrayted I really appreciate ALL the information on places to ride. My DH grew up in PA and told me that it would be a beautiful place to ride, especially this time of year. He and I looked over the cue sheets on the LBC webpage last night and it really makes us more anxious to get there and do some riding. We'll probably spend more time on our bikes than originally planned. Hopefully my in-laws will understand.....LOL!!

    I have another question: What is your suggestion on the leg warmers versus the cycling tights? Here it doesn't really get cold until late November and then we're talking like maybe in the 50's to 60's for the high. Being this will be my first fall/winter out on the bike I'm not sure which is preferable for most ladies. I know I will need something a little warmer than my cycling shorts while in PA so any advice will help.

    I would go with the leg warmers. The temps up here really vary a lot throughout the day, for example it was 55 this morning and is supposed to go to 89 this afternoon. Once it warms up, the leg warmers can easily be taken off without breaking any indecency laws, especially if you're in Lancaster
