    I would bet that there are also going to be quite a few cars with kayaks, so it'll still be tricky. This is what I think we have so far, but it's been hard to keep up--

    Kayaking on Saturday:
    KD (Though I will bail out if the chance of thunderstorms persists. I'll call DB if I'm not 'yakking.)
    DB
    7Rider
    Erica ??
    (Add your name here)

    Dinner Saturday evening, location still TBD:
    KD
    DB
    7Rider
    Erica ??
    Zen
    Withm (time permitting?)
    (Add your name here)

    Riding on Sunday:
    KD (43 miles unless the weather's crappy, then 25 miles)
    DB (43 miles)
    7Rider & Erica (Metric)
    Zen
    Withm (43 miles unless it's raining)
    Annette (??)
    Catriona
    Becky
    Amitheryet
    (Add your name here)

    I'm not sure I'm going to be over there in time for kayaking with you guys - my friend's driving up from Richmond, then we're heading on over after I tweak her bike or convince her to borrow mine. If she wants to ride her mountain bike, I'm at least putting slicks on it, and changing the stem for her 'cause she's been complaining about that & handlebar height, and pumping up the front fork so that she doesn't loose too much power to it.

    So depending on all that, I may not get over there before 11:30 to meet you guys for kayaking, so then we'll just kayak on our own... if we go on our own, we might not be off the water by 6. So if I show up for dinner or kayaking's sorta up in the air.

    so if she takes her mountain bike, I'm assuming we're not going to ride much more than the 25 mile ride (at least I surely wouldn't want to ride 25 miles on a mountain bike). The 43 & 25 mile ride is the same for the first 10 miles, so we'll do those 10 miles and then decide which route we're taking.

    Erica is doing a day-trip on Sunday a.m.
    She won't join us for kayaking or dinner.

    I will somehow affix a meager sign and an American flag to the Mothership.

    For those unfamiliar with the Mothership it's a white Toyota van.

    You have a new Mothership? I thought it was silver/pale blue/something like that...

    It's a no-go on copying the Civil War Century cue sheets. They're printed on dark colored paper and turn into a dark grey unreadable mess when I try to copy them.

    Weather is looking iffy for Saturday and Sunday. Will have to make a call about kayaking tomorrow, I guess.

    DB - if you give them to me, maybe I can scan them on my printer. I can adjust the settings a bit to correct for that darkness when I create PDFs.

    Yeah, I saw 50% probability of rain both days. Blech. But hey, I once kayaked in a hail storm. Of course, we had a bridge to hide under...but it was really cool.
