Help X. pick a bike vacation!

[Xrayted]

Thanks, MP. It seems like a lot of people like the Napa Valley area. I'm getting lots of Cali posters on this thread.

I'm still keeping an open mind though. I'm writing down things that catch my eye in each post.

Need to hear from more states. I know we have people in just about everyone.

BMo3 - I may have to come to Ohio for a short jaunt just to calm you down, woman. It might be cheaper to mail myself to ya, though. **Uh oh, the little wheels are turning up there**

[KnottedYet]

Xray - maybe you should go down there just to get that nurse at Dr. KIJ office to pull her head out of her *** and start treating our BMo3 RIGHT!!

"Yeah, and there's more of us where THAT came from!"

Ok, sorry for the thread hijack...

Hijack me anytime, my dear Knot.

Well, I'd have to stop to take the time to x-ray Ms. Cratchet, RN, PITA first. That's just too cool of a shot to pass up. We're digital, so if anyone wants a copy...
Then a massive shin kickin' would ensue. Good thing I saved those steel-toed boots. Swore I'd never wear them again, but anything for you, BMo3.

Now back to vacation talk.>>>>

[Xrayted]

BUMP!

Come on ladies, we're not done yet! We've got 'til the end of the month. Lots of ideas out there to be had.

I need a vacation BAD, so all ideas are welcome.

[chickwhorips]

i'll meet ya in anchorage and we'll wing it.

does that work?

[Xrayted]

CWR - If you're there, it works! Can we bring the youngun'? You know she'll stow away anyhow.

[chickwhorips]

sure. she would be very upset if we didn't.

If you choose to go to Alaska, you had best pick me up along the way. I did give you directions, head southwest...

X,

I second the nomination for rides in VA! I live in Madison County (at the bottom of the mountain below Big Meadows & the Skyline Drive). This county alone has hundreds of paved roads that are excellent for cycling. Add to it the counties of Culpeper, Rappahannock & Greene and you have more cycling than you can do in a couple weeks. There are many cyclists here so the traffic is generally very friendly. For other diversions, hike from Big Meadows down to Hoover's Camp. It's an easy hike and you can see the cabins President Hoover used as his "Camp David"-type retreat. Other good hikes are Old Rag (great rock scrambling) & White Oak Canyon for the falls. If staying on the Skyline Drive is too remote for you, the nearby towns of Culpeper or Orange both have places to stay.

As for the Blue Ridge Parkway, I have taken my bike down to Peaks of Otter, stayed there & used it as a base for cycling. Great trip & fun time, but the weather can be iffy in spring.

Is there any way you can take your own bike instead of renting? My bike is such a part of "me" that I don't think I would enjoy a trip as much on another! If you decide to head in this direction (quick trip over to Rt. 15 at Gettysburg, then head south ) let me know and I'll map some rides for you!

[Xrayted]

IfJane - Yeah, I think I'll be packing my own bike for this trip after having talked to Denise Goldberg. It's jsut so much better and for the amount of riding I'm hoping to do, I'd feel like I was cheating or something.

thanks for the feedback. I'll check it out online later today!

X.

You asked for it...so here's my 2 cents!

You could join myself and the 10-12 other women from I will be meeting up with in CA in March. Last year two of us flew out from PA, the rest of the group is from Salt Lake City (long story of how that happened...) We toured Sacramento the first day, rode down to Lodi the second day and hit some of the area winerys and then rode in the Cinderella Classic on the 3rd day. It's a blast...three days of non-stop laughter on the bike! I should be getting more details within the next week so I can make my plans...I'll keep you posted!

I believe there are quite a few TE members that do the Cindy...

[chickwhorips]

i think you should go to arizona and stay at the valley ho.

Thanks, AG. Sounds like a blast. I've already got my name on the list to receive an entry application just in case that's where I end up.
Oh, and BTW, careful how you word that last part, will ya? hehehe

Or how about Colorado? Say, Denver area?

i'm thinking that sounds really good. i hear you can solve alot down in that area.

Yup, I believe your right. I think sometime before April (?)might be best. Whadya think? Although, Anchorage is a possibility too. Could be quite a bike adventure. I hear they have nice big mountains both places. I love hills! (Well, not really.) Maybe get some fishing in too. Hang out and play with some 'peanuts'...
