This ride takes place Labor Day weekend on Sunday and Monday. I would like to get an estimated headcount by April 30 so that I can inquire about a group discount at hotels. The hotel information will be posted in the newsletter and this web site. Intent is an easy ride Sunday with plenty of picture opportunities. Stopover can be adjusted based on pace Sunday. Due to lack of services it is recommended that bikes have a fuel range of 150 miles. GPS route will be available for download (generated by Garmin Mapsource software). We hope you plan to join us on this ride.
