Gorgeous photos, withm. I wish we'd had that sky back in May, instead of the gloomy one we rode beneath. And, of course, I hope we have a beautiful blue one like that in May '09!

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Wow. Thanks for the pix! It's got me dreaming of sunnier days next May!
A couple of the folks from my LBS group ride were at that time trial. One woman I know did okay in her 50+ group. Didn't quite reach her goal, but said the winds picked up pretty good. She did come in second with her tandem partner later on (pretty darned good considering they BOTH raced already that day!). She rocks.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

Oh, I didn't see this till now - it looks like registration is filled up.
How're the mosquitos/ticks around there? I try to kayak camp on Assateague in early spring and late fall to avoid the bugs, and I always end up getting eaten alive.

DANG!
I just told my DH today that I really wanted to do this ride next year and it's already closed!! Their forum said they would open slots as they had cancellations though, so I'll keep an eye on it.

As long as the day looks like the one in WithM's pictures, I'll be glad!

Still don't have a hotel, and I haven't given the ride much more thought since I registered.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

I rode in Easton and St. Michael's last weekend, and stopped at Blackwater on the way home but it was getting too late to ride at that point. I think I may go over there on Sat and do the ride again. The trees have started to change, and if not this weekend, I'll go next weekend. Hoping for full color by then. Of course I'll post pix whenever it is that I go over there.

Last w/e we stayed at the Hampton Inn in Easton; a little more expensive than the Days Inn in Cambridge but offers a better breakfast, including HOT sausage & French toast., and free wireless access. Nice rooms, comfy beds, more upscale. But I noted that the Days Inn had a sign saying free wireless now as well.
There are many very good restaurants in Easton - about 12 miles away from Cambridge Holiday Inn Express and the caliber of restaurant suggests that they may accommodate vegetarians better than what we had in Cambridge.
When I go back I'll try to find more restaurants in Cambridge area.
