THANKS so much jobob for the info on the American River Bike Trail! Sounds like a heavenly bike ride...I think even I can handle that altitude gain.I love that part of California.
I was very interested in the story of the bike tree! I "borrowed" the photo from a bike blog, and maybe it was even that one, I can't remember now, but I never did see what the story was. What a coincidence!

Tulip when are you doing the Natchez Trace? It is a beautiful place to ride.

Mississippi in the Spring. Thorn, send me a PM if you want details for your trip planning. For the Canada trip, it's been shortened to only Ottawa to QC so we can spend a few days in QC afterwards. Its one of my favorite cities. I would consider living there if it weren't so cold in the winter!
Our only trips are the two weekend trips to Bristol, TN for the NASCAR races. However we are planning on buying locks (once we decide/figure out the best locks on the market) so that we can take the mountain bikes with us for transportation from where we park the truck to the track and back. The track as install are nice long fence along the front area where there are tons of people who lock their bikes to that fence for the day while inside the track for the day. We are planning on joining those people. We aren't sure, but we think that bike parking is part of why they put that fence in, because there are no bike racks anywhere at the track.
That's a funny combo: NASCAR and bicycles. I live a few miles from a major NASCAR track; I never would suspect that NASCAR fans would bring their bikes to the races, but it's a good idea.
