23ed is the day after the wedding - i can do it - i wont stay at the place over night - was contemplating that anyway - if the ride ends up on 23ed then i am down!

Aren't we all... I'm gonna leave the date set as is but we can definitely plan something for the 23rd as well... maybe go the opposite direction into South Jersey or do a coastal run or something.

[CycleDude]

I'll be at "The Monster Mile" in Dover, DE for a Nascar race.

[dave007]

I'm in the process of re-arranging my rides... looking at the 23rd now to see if there are more people who can make it. Seems like only 1 or 2 people could do the 22nd, so let's get a feel for availability for the 23rd. We're looking at about a 5 hour ride starting in Somerville (180 miles roundtrip). Looking to start roughly between 9-10am. Let me know who could make it if we do it 9/23.

[Guitar7272]

I just PMed Kevin and Kenny to see if theyd be able to make the 23rd... I'll let you know when they reply.

[Cruz]

I didn't do more then glance over this thread a few weeks ago cause I didn't have a bike to do any riding with...

But now I got the bike and am stuck working on the 22-23 weekend.
Hopefully I will feel confident enough for a ride soon.

Sorry, will update you guys when I can do a ride.

Nothing happened, have to work.
I think your referring to the second part of the post. Well with less then a week on the road, I don't have the confidence for a group ride yet. That should change soon, I hope.

I wish i knew how to upload the whole thing to my garmin zumo - i would make a "route" out of it...

kenny

[dave007]

The route on Yahoo isn't the final route. I have the whole route planned and logged in my Garmin Quest. I can send you a .gdb file if that helps. Perhaps the Zumo will import it??

[Mercury]

YES please email it to me merc45@gmail.com SWEET!!

thanks

Kenny

[dave007]

It's on its way...
