It's nice to see some of our "mandatory payroll donations" are going to good use!
I am still a newb and will always be a clyde, so if you're expecting a TdF quality paceline you got the wrong guy...but if not I am absolutely up for a ride my friend!



...and we definitely have to all try a ride down Neils way next month, a Sunday afternoon would be ideal for the "cheesesteak run"...we go down their way from the 'burg, Sayre comes over from Reading, and Will and the Mrs. and chefisaac...we could commandeer the trail and run it out!

Doug,

I'll PM you shortly with some contact information, it would be great to meet a new rider and forum poster

After the event, Neil and I will likely go for a ride in the area. To all you new clydes I say welcome and feel free to come up and do the race, the ride afterwards or both!

The races are either 5 miles or 15 miles, cost either $5 or $15 to enter and begin at 9am on Sunday the 31st. Proceeds benefit Blue Mountain Wildlife, Inc., one of the groups responsible for the maintenance and beautification of the Kernesville Damn area and the Bartram section of the SRT.



Sorry for hijacking the thread, but it's the first chance I'll have to ride with these guys till September!
I'm manning an intersection at the event. Hoping to see some of you at the race.

It's true. I kept forgetting to update my location.

Not so much jealous as wistful and nostalgic. I rode that trail hundreds of times; I've ridden with Neil, Bautieri, vXhanz and some other SEPA BFers.

Look, if anyone wants to come out for a ride, I'm game. Let's set something up. In 2010 I had posters drive in from Ohio - MrDanW and Peter_C below:

Can someone send me a PM when you guys set this up. I'm out of town for 2 more weeks but I'd love to ride with a group of fellow clydes instead of my typical solo jaunts around the farm roads of chester county.

I wish people would stop this "I'm not as fast as you guys" chant. I'm slow as can be, and don't drop people on rides. In fact the transition from Bike Forums newbie is marked by the discovery that I'm not intimidating in any way.
