just did an off road metric century
Just did the spaghetti 100 in tallahassee,fl.They had 50k,100k,100mile on road and 100k(65 mile) offroad.There was about 40 of us offroad riders.It was just dirt roads that ran through plantations in the area which made for a real pretty ride.It had a snack break at 18m and a great lunch at 38m and a fantastic spaghetti dinner at the end.I wasn't really in shape for it but and i paid for it but it was a blast.Although my butt is still killing me I cant wait till next years.I'll have to get in better shape for it though.

Cool! I didn't know that was going on. I might have made the trip. (about 5 hour drive) We've got some friends in Tallahassee we've been meaning to go see. Maybe next year I'll join you!

Don't know about it, YET!
I'll look into it. I haven't ridden in the Lake City area besides just around our campsite.
I'll try to get some info on the IDIDARIDE.

Try www.suwanneebike.org They dont have the info up on the 2003 ride yet.It will probably be up after their bike fest.Also i think it fills up quicklike 250 riders i think.I've never ridden there myself.My inlaws like it a lot over there. From what they say the trails are flat and mostly nontechnical.But it should be fun
