If you decide to go with the 70-miler, let me know and we can ride together if you want.
Cool, thanks. Its always nice to have someone to ride with. Lets keep in touch as the day gets closer. (which of course means I need to come here more often, but I'm sure I will in any event as the weather warms up and I get out riding more)

BTW, do you mind if I ask why you are "ny biker" if you live in VA? Are you from NY?
