Karen,

Holy Cow! Does that mean I've gotta keep up w/you????? I'm trying to talk Mommelisa into coming up w/me (she stays in SD for part of the summer). I am really looking forward to it!!!

I'm really thinking I'm gonna pass on the Amtrak ride... I don't really want to put my bike in the truck either AND, when I'm done w/a ride, I want to be comfortable, not stuck waiting for everyone else to finish before I can get a ride back!

However, I am very seriously considering the grand tour lite (CG, I would do the lowland route though, not those crazy climbs!!!) I'm running out of "ride budget" though so I'm probably going to do only a few others over the fall. Plus, I'm still considering putting on a ride myself so..... I may be a little busy!

For some reason I am REALLY looking forward to three harbors - maybe its because I haven't done an organized ride since Cruisin' the Conejo...

T~

ps. sorry for the thread drift
pps. Caligurl, I need your input on grand tour lite - lowland century.... headwinds? hills? I need your infinite wisdom!!!
