This is also my 1st fall/winter riding so I'll go along with what AllezGirl says. You just never know what the weather is gonna be like around here. (Our weathermen are considered good if they get close 40% of the time.) I missed the online signup too so I'm signing up when I get there. The shirts are legendary for their designs.
If you need any specific addresses for Mapquest if you use the LBC sheets, let me know. They assume that when they say 'start here', that you are a local and can find that starting place.
If you are into doing the Amish thing, Sundays are always full of buggies as they head to meeting. (They don't have churches, they usually meet at a members farm - they take turns.) Plenty of them are walking, biking all day long in Strasburg/Paradise/Intercourse area. Just stay off Rt. 30 with the bike, you'll seriously get killed. There are great outlet malls in Strasburg area along Rt. 30 if you're into that. If you end up biking in Strasburg, I suggest stopping at the Creamery on the corner of 896 & 741 (I think it's the only red light) for a snack.
If you think of anything I can do for you, just speak up. Hope to see you at the CB ride, but if not, maybe we can meet up on another ride. Above all, have fun while you're out here. That's what life is all about.
