I'll be there! Black Guru Carbonio Ti.

I plan to try and ride as well if my knee loosens up a bit. Will probably just ride over from the house. It sounds like the temps are going to be perfect.

I'm thinking about coming down for this ride though I'm woefully out of shape right now. I'll know by Thursday night.

I was just wondering where to ride this weekend since it is forecast to be so nice. Good timing substructure, and thanks for posting this. I will plan to be there. Have to also make it a point to meet the cook, we have the same name.

Have you bought a new bike yet Neal?

Not yet, but I plan to go on the prowl real soon. Try to make it to Harrisburg this Saturday, this should be a nice ride. I'll probably ride the 55 route.

My wife gave me a get out of jail card for Sat. and the lure of temps in the 60s is too much to pass up. As long as I don't come down with the cold both my wife and daughter have I'll be there. 55 miles seems like plenty to me right now.

Well, I was thinking about it but, my Hammer guys are riding Saturday morning 9am and I'm gonna stick around and ride with them. I've seriously missed riding with them. They're only gonna do 40mi tho and supposedly at a "slow" pace. :rolleyes: that means a 17-18mph pace. right - that's what they always tell me and it ends up being 2mph faster.

y'all have fun! :)

Ya'll look for me if you show up.

I'm the thin, good looking guy, with glasses and a camera hanging from his neck.
(only part of that is true. I do wear glasses and I will have a camera.)

Good job on this event "substructure", I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well staffed and organized, which is a credit to your efforts. The route was really nice winding through the countryside, the weather goes without saying, the turnout was large, and the food was simply delicious. I didn't get a chance to meet Neal but, please extend to him my compliments on a couple of perfect cycling dishes.

I will. Thanks.


And for anyone who cares. The Hincapie Team supposedly snubbed the registration fee and rode anyway. If true, it was extremely tasteless. And I don't think the team sponsors would like to know.
