What is he, a rancher? Who brings their calves to a bike ride? Must be a Mennonite thing.

Unfortunately, bad communication has left myself and my mother with no reservations for Saturday night.
I was hoping that maybe someone has some floor space that we could 'rent' for the night. We'll help pay for the room.
My mother is not going to be able to ride this year because of an Achilles injury, but she's still going to come out. Well, if we can get a place to stay. I'd hate to have to miss another year.

Is everyone in? Thursday afternoon I'm going to pm the cell phone and name list to everyone who has gotten numbers to me; if you want to connect with the list, shoot me a pm by about 2:00 ET.
I'll also be resizing the BF tag for anyone who wants to do an ID, and will attach it somewhere in here.
Current forecast for the area for Sunday is partly sunny, highs in the mid to upper 70's - nice! There's not a lot of shade on this ride; it'll be great to not be baking in the cornfields.
Later,
Beth

Hey Scootter, what's the traffic like on US 30 through York? I might detour through Gettysburg, since Cheri has never been there, then come across 30 into Lancaster.

It is not to bad, as long as you dont hit rush hour. they are doing const on the one part and it is down to one lane, but that is the bypass part where there is no lights. It opens up to three lanes through most of the York light cycle, once you get out of the lights, it gets pretty open.

I thought wheels down was 8:30. I'm fine with anything after 7:59am; earlier and I have to wake up before 5am and you really don't want to see me when I wake up that early....seriously. So can someone please tell me what the definitive start time is?
As for RNW's suggestion, both the time and the speed probably preclude me. I hope you will reconsider and ride with the majority BF group at 8ish or whenever we are starting.

Doesn't sound like anyone should worry about showing up and being slower than the cat 1s leading the BF peloton as there will be plenty of us speed-challenged working our drafting technique in the middle and back of the pack.. Heck, I've even been practicing my zone 2 technique. Don't think I can maintain that heart rate over hills, though.

My boss says that the note has to be from my mommy or daddy.
CoinciDENTALLY a filling fell out today so I've managed to skive off to the dentist tomorrow morning. Which should mean a pretty short day tomorrow. See you all on Saturday/Sunday.

I know I'm late, but I just nailed down my plans to go. I'll likely be wearing a Super Grover jersey, and riding a silver OCR C3.

And I will most likely be wearing this:
