Bike Virginia 2008
we did it, my wife and I just signed up for the 08 ride. We'll be doing the "Sherpa'ed camping". Now we need to seriously kick up our training.
Any other regulars here riding this year ?

My wife and I will probably sign up. We are looking at schedules. How quick do motels fill up? We are wussies.

Also, BV says that they have arranged "special rates," but I found I got a better rate on my own, so shop around.

Is "virginai" some kind of plural form of a certain word?

Not sure about Virginia, but Georgia's ride, BRAG, is two weeks earlier, June 8-14, and rooms in the smaller towns along the route are already booked solid. One of my friends had to decide he was not such a wussie or else he would have to not go. He's going to camp.

Boy did I misread the title of this thread. I guess I DO need that geezer's eye chart exam.

I would love to do this ride but I already have two tours planned this summer. Maybe I can join next year if there's a 50+ team.

We would also join a 50+ team, although I also think we would be on the low end of the endurance and speed as this is our first tour ever.

Let he who is without typo cast the first (or in this case 3rd) smart remark.
