Tam, I'll be riding with Bridget, my former neighbor who got me started riding my bike two years ago. Do you want to meet and ride together? It says that those doing the 22 mile ride should be on the road by 8 am--very early for you!--so we'll probably try to get so we can start around 7:45 or so, I'd guess. (I haven't talked to Bridget yet.)
Sounds good. I'm already planning to leave my house before 6:30am in the hopes of being there 7:30-ish. I may not manage more than a grunt for "hello" when we meet, but I'll be there.

Well, it turns out Bridget is going to be lazy and not do the ride on Sunday. We should probably figure out somewhere to meet and at what time. Maybe somewhere in the vicinity of the registration desk at 7:45? It might be crowded, but I can't remember anything about the starting site to figure out another place to meet.
My best advice I can give you is to go with fat tires on a mtb or townie. The cobblestones will tear your bits apart on a road bike as will the potholes. The ride is fun and the scenery is wonderful. Wish I could do it this year but I'm a west coaster now. Have fun!![]()

Even looking at the map and directions, I can't think of exactly where the start is. I'm sure I'll find it once I get up there, though. So, registration desk at 7:45am. See you there.
On Sunday, right...?
