I'll be there saturday! I'm bringing my bike, and might try the ride to st james again, hope to do better on a couple of the hills this time. If you are in the area, you are welcome to come along. My family is doing thanksgiving dinner this weekend, so I may not be able to go until after we eat, depending on when that is (they haven't told me yet), but if you are interested I could call you or something.
I had my bike but didn't get to ride much last saturday, but the saturday before that I rode the back roads to st james (they live out by the country club, off b hwy) The back road kind of parallels rte 66 and isn't as busy with traffic as rte 66. exit 266 is the one for rte 66 state park in eureka.
