I'm not sure how good of an option the Naval Station will be.
There isn't really a big, empty lot we could use, particularly now that the Lincoln has moved back in from PSNSY.
I can find out what National Guard Armories are in the area and see which, if any would be suitable.
The questions we probably need to answer are
1) Realistically, how many riders can we expect?
2) What are the local regulations regarding permits, coordination with local authorities?
3) Insurance requirements? Where can we get it, how much will it cost and who will foot the bill up front?
4) Schwag. Can't forget that
5) Advertising
6) What sort of ride will this be? Competitive or just a fun ride? (probably should be question number 1).

I might be able to help you with the insurance requirements. I've found out recently that you can get event insurance if you register as a club with USACycling and it is extremely resonable $2 per person (can be rolled into the registration fee) and $25 for the event. It sounds implausible, but they make it work. That is for a race - it might even be less, considering that it is a fun ride. You do have to register a club with USACycling, but that is fairly simple and only costs $150. I can look up more information on this if you'd like.

I missed the Lake Samm one...but saw the vela bella women's ride - the one that's associated with the alefest ride out of Leavenworth...it's up around or near Lake Wenatchee, I think, but it's in August, so it conflicts with when I'll be in NY.

I'll just sent an email to Dan to tell him you gals want an update (heck, I do too!). The last I heard, he said that the first year would be starting off alot smaller than first thought, mainly to work out any unforseen bugs before inviting masses of riders. After that, they may go bigger with the second year. Understandable and wise, I think.
That's pretty much all I know, sorry. I'm still wanting to drive up, I know that!
cya,
