JB: You'd be most welcome, and the drive would certainly be doable. Being a senior (to me) only means that you've got a bit more wisdom (and jokes) than the rest of us... But I'm 52 years old (senior enough, right?) and would hope we'd also get a few younger enthusiasts to join. The only criteria for joining this ride are:
- Bring your high spirit for adventure - If you ride a Riv, bring it. (If you don't, but can somehow control your "Riv-Lust", ride whatever you've got). - Be willing to pedal 35-50 miles each day at whatever non-race pace is comfortable... We'll stick together. (Any racers that show up, we'll simply send them ahead with bad directions...:) - Carry what you need on your bike - Have a valid credit card (of course) BB On Nov 14, 10:47 am, JB <baile...@voyager.net> wrote: > That sounds great.
