Thanks for the tidbits on the TFCE, Chainsoflove. I was talking to a cycling colleague yesterday and she also pointed out that it's actually not entirely flat...but did say it is beautiful and very well organized. I have sent in applications for BF and myself for 100 miles (aim high, right?). Lodging and lunch suggestions are appreciated...esp since I have PB allergy...PBJ would not be cool. Will pack my own and begin looking into lodging. But first...I need to know if we've been accepted! Anyone else heard back yet?

As far as a NE TE ride, I am not available the first weekend in May, and the first two in June..but otherwise open. Group ride = good for this newbie.
