2) on the entry form, it looks like you don't actually register for a specific ride- you just register & show up at the appropriate time, right? So we could both register, then if it rains or something & she doesn't go, I could go and ride whatever I wanted?
Thanks again! Looking forward to it!
Question number two first-You're correct, you don't have to pick your ride before you get there. Some times I don't know what one I'll do till I see what time I get there and how the weather is.
Question number one-I'm not real sure, my only experience with the tow path has been walking it with a dog and I remember thinking that if I had a mountain bike I would like to ride it, but I wouldn't try on a road bike. That being said, the section I was on was well north of where this ride starts so I don't know if the condition down there is much different.
