Re place- I'd say its not far from that intersection. It's a pretty big lot, BUT there are trees there so it's easy to miss. That's why I said that if you get to Concannon you've gone too far!
I"ve emailed the Valley Spokesmen people for exact directions but haven't gotten a response yet. I'll try Baldino as well. I know the VS meet there for rides.
Re weather- let's hope it's not too warm. I'll do a weather check later on this week to make sure we're dressed for the occasion! A lot of the road is shaded as we get into the canyons, so hopefully it won't be too warm. And if we get going soon after 9:00 we should beat the heat later in the day.
Bring lots of water and whatever you need for sports drinks and bars.
I'll be wearing my AV jersey, that's for sure!
