In just a few days I will be taking off on my 2nd cycling roadtrip south, just as I did last year.

I'll be riding my Fuji and the boss will be on his Trek roadbike. We'll both be traveling very light, as last time - this is a blitzkrieg! Then again, last year we did the same and ended up on an errant course that took us through some severe conditions and it nearly cost us.

This year the route will be much more direct - apparently, this fellow was able to do it without meeting much resistance. He did this several years ago but believes that the route is still valid. We figure that with a little adjustment it ought to take us there in style and we will make good time!

Check the course - you out there in NJ, PA, DE, or MD land & anywheres nearby can come out to the barricades, hold out cups of water and cheer us on...or ride up in a support vehicle and chuck bottles of water at our heads. Or maybe ride along with us for a few miles, I don't know...

BONUS: If all goes well and we get to our objective with time to spare, I may consider riding down to DC since it's pretty close - IF I can find a suitable route there and back.

Hope to see someone, anyone on the road down there!
