No kidding on the busy parking lot.. you could possibly even pick another place say... Lowe's parking lot, or Target lot... either way, traffic won't be so bad to break it up at 10am. They are right across from each other (and I'm sure you know since you live around here)
I have a feeling I am going to be missing out on most of this ride due to my airport dropoff. I'm hopefully going to be securing a bike soon... so I should have something to ride. Not sure if I'd be able to catch up to you guys and head out so far.. that is a mighty big route for my first outing of the season, I'd imagine my back is going to be screaming in pain after this.. har har. I was told that the DT? tires that are coming with the bike may not be good for long rides due to overheating the rubber? It's starting to worry be a little bit if the bike will make it
Maybe you could pass along some of the phone numbers of those that have helmet bluetooth so some of us may be able to call and figure out where you guys are at in hopes of catching up?
