It really is wonderful, isn't it? I love the ride, I love sharing some time with my dear friends from Cycle Sport, I love the people I get to meet during the ride, but I also get a kick out of meeting our hosts, and maybe doing a little good along the way. This is not to say that I won't be stopping to visit Mr. Pork Chop at least once, but for the most part, I enjoy the local booths. Last year, I even manned a bull horn to help drum up some buisness for a home made pies and ice cream booth to help a class earn money for a school trip...now that was an easy sell!!
Don't forget to meet some of us for lunch at Emerson on the first day if you can make it!
