My husband and I were planning it all spring, but at $4/gallon we couldn't drive 1,000 miles for a weekend of fun. And we love road trips but we have a big one coming up in September that we are pinching pennies for.

You don't have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great. -Lee J. Colan
Still planning on it! My friend Ed, whom I met at BRAT last year, is driving all the way from South Carolina for it, too. Oh, to be retired.....
We're both staying at the Comfort Suites but we purchased the meal plan so we'll be dining at the cafeteria. We're planning on doing the century on Saturday and either the 70 or 52 on Sunday.

OK, for those who are interested in starting together, feel free to meet us at 8:00AM to 8:15 at the at the bottom of the steps just north of the door to the check in area. For those doing the century, you'll definately want an early start to avoid SAG closure. The meeting spot looks like this:

Silver and I will be wearing green Hilly Hundred jerseys. We PM'd our cell phones to ya'll if you're interested in an evening meal together. We may drive down to Lexington...but we're flexible.
The weather looks like it's going to be outstanding!
indy: we still have your cell phone #
makbike: we'll be thinking of you and hope that your club event goes well!
susan: we've got your cell # saved as well.
Anyone else in? Good day to drive up from Tennessee or down from Ohio!

Hi guys... I'll pm you my cell number today. Not sure if I can meet in the morning to ride. The bf and I are going with alot of peeps from our bike group, so we will mostly start out with them. I'm hoping to have a little quiet time alone just riding with my bf and me... or maybe just meI like to ride tours in small groups, I hate the chatter chatter chatter that some riders bring, LOL!! Okay, I'm bad.
... and yep the weather is supposed to be outstanding!!, I can't wait. We are leaving early tomorrow... to get there, hang out, have some beers and the enjoy the weekend!!
Silver?, are you planning on staying through Sunday? I believe we are going to try to do the 72 miles on Sunday as well. I'll send you my phone number... who knows, maybe we can all meet for dinner or something.
See you all there!! I'm teasing the boyfriend that I'm going to be coming back with a horse and trailer, LOL!! I want a horse so bad![]()
Sorry I missed a couple of Mr. Silver's questions.
I do have room in my suite if someone doesn't mind sleeping on a pull out couch. The dorm rooms are what you would expect for the money. I thought about staying in them again and just bringing my Aerobed.
I'm planning on meeting up with you in the morning. I was hoping for an early start so that works out very well. I'm not sure what I'll be wearing--depends on how warm it is--but you can look for my light green Bianchi. Now that I know what the Silvers look like, it'll be easier this year!
Everybody have a safe trip down.
