I am considering putting together a ride in south Riverside County. I spoke to several people at the planning departments and it seems very doable. I've got the photographer lined up (am going to do this a bit differently than most rides) and am working on some sort of business name so I can get that out of the way, fictitious name statement filed etc. I plan on doing a 20-30 mile route and a metric to start.... now to figure out a date. I'd really like to aim for fall as summer (although, I think there's a need there too) is to close for me to get everything done (I've got a lot of loose ends I'm clearing up so I can concentrate). Although August is a possiblity - however, it gets pretty toasty here in the summer - most people would be done by 1-2pm at latest though... Hmmmm.... whatever I decide, I want to keep it that way and not have to move it to a different month the next year (assuming it all goes okay).

Thank you for your input, I'd love to also hear what things have been very good on previous rides and areas that you find problematic....

keep it comin' ladies!
