http://www.nps.gov/mall/planyourvisi...-questions.htm Seems they do these tours every Saturday and Sunday so that's convenient, but each tour apparently focuses on a different theme. (Note: I was typing this as NY was editing her post...)
Do we want to try to pick a day with a theme that's interesting, just pick a day and have it be a surprise, or not worry about learning anything new and just go on our own route as our own group?

"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."

Well I thought they were only on Sundays, so thanks for checking!

I don't know how you've done your rides in the past, i.e., if you like to ride around the sites with few or no stops or if you stop frequently to check things out.
