Rather than tack this onto the triathlete thread, i thought i'd start something new on traveling to a ride, and tie into the earlier threads on British cycle touring.
The vast majority of my bike riding (aside from most CX races) start and end from home. Over the 4th holiday weekend, however, a few friends and i got an assist to the start of a ride that ended at home - we took the Amtrak a couple of stops south and rode home. Three of us did this ride a couple of years ago, but were thwarted last year because flooding on the line stopped the trains on that stretch for a couple of weeks. Things worked out great this year with beautiful weather and a challenging new route mapped out by Jim Thill, who commented on the ride down "the great thing about this route is that it has lots of descending!". That guy really knows how to look on the bright side of 150 miles of hills, gravel, and beautiful southern Minnesota riding.
