Red Flannel anyone?
I'm betting on decent weather - anyone doing the Red Flannel Metric this year?

Interesting. I have friends in Oberlin, so I am now considering it. Thing is... Is it really worth going out of the way for a 62-mile ride? I don't mean to be a snob, and I'm certainly not in any kind of great shape, but I did almost 60 this morning before lunch. I just don't understand why anyone would drive a significant distance for such a short ride.
