Yeay, I'm so glad you're going Beth! Apparently my bike arrived today, so I should have it all set up by the weekend. Can't wait to try it out!

I just received the flyer in the mail, but no mention of ice cream to juggle this year????
I'm in the "probably will be there" stage. It was tons of fun last year.

Not all will be able to make it- As you can see- some of us live a bit of distance away.
This is where some of the Other forums might have a lead-- A virtual ride. Those that cannot make it to this ride to do the equivalent distance- on the day in their own locality.- By the way- How many riders will take part on the actual ride? With the virtual ride- you can double the riders.

Jugglerdave! Glad you're considering the ride once again . . .
Stapfam, you mean no trip across the pond to ride the covered bridges of Central PA**********??? Hmmmmmphhhhhh! Kidding . . . this ride last year attracted a minimum of about 3,000 folks, touring some of the most beautiful countryside around. It was an honor and a privilege to meet and ride with these bikeforums folks on what I consider to be the highlight of last year's season; can't wait to do it again this year!

Actually, the Zipp wheel rep for this area looks even more like Kloden than dex does, if you can imagine that being possible. In addition to the basic facial features, he even had the gangly facial hair and sinewy scrawn thing downpat too.

I'll be there too! I'm bringing a friend. This will be Jay's first organized ride. Jay and I need to start the ride as early as possible. We are both very slow and want to do the whole 100k. If the rest of the gang is starting later then you'll see us as you pass, probably before lunch. If the timing is right we can meet for lunch on the hill like last year.
For anyone who doesn't know me - I'll be riding my Red 1984 Trek 720, with wood fenders and a kids license plate on the back that says "Mike"

I love hangin' with the Amish! There was a young Amish man on my unit at Jefferson, and I got to really like his family.
I think I'll start a "what will be be wearing/riding" thread before it starts, so we can be on the lookout for each other. I'll be wearing my usual silver jersey/black shorts, and riding my turquoise '87 Trek 560. Can you say "'80s"? Yeah, baby!

Ok so do we need a who is signed up thread? Mirona's list on this one is from people who were there last year. Also are we going to ride under the same sort of plan as last year in regards to roll out time etc? IMO it worked out pretty well.

the 'meet next to the big bikeforums sign' trick worked really well. I dunno what I'll be wearing yet, I have to go back and look at cydewaze's Scat I'll be riding and match accordingly...

After reading the first few posts, I was thinking to myself that I might want to try this... then my boss walks in and says that I might be going out of town in August... I swear, his timing was uncanny. I haven't had to travel for the last 6 months, and when I first think about going on something like this, in he walks. Hopefully, it won't be anytime during that weekend.
