    So we had a pretty good turnout and had a lot of fun last month so I figured we'd try to do it again in August. This will be after Caffeine and Octane for those of you who will be there. We will probably follow last months route unless anyone has any better ideas. We will have walkie talkies to communicate so bring one if you got one.

    Meeting up at Shell Gas Station on Windward Parkway at 10:00AM. Plan to leave at 10:30.

    Don't think I can do it two days in a row. ha I will be up there by 7 am Saturday morning. I did this run last weekend, and it is a blast.

    Thanks!
    i recently got a newer detailed map of the area.
    For anyone not familiar with the area, this is one reason this area is a road cycling destination:

    One can see a route map for the six gap century here, a handy document of these awesome roads

    Hmmm, very tempting. I usually stay across from C&O when I'm up in the area. Give me a few days to think about it.

    :( You will be missed Chip. I'm sure we'll do it again next month. I would like to generate enough interest that we could start doing this as a regular thing after C&O every month.

    Oh and btw guys, they are repaving on 180.... I came around a corner and there was a damn asphalt machine taking up 3/4 of the road way. I doubt they will be working on Sunday, but just watch out. They have orange barrels every once in a while... You will know what I am talking about.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm jealous you got to go up there today. I've been stuck at work all day.

    I think we are going to hold off this week. Not much interest this time. Just me and Foster as of now.

    I also just learned that I must find a new place to live in the next couple of weeks, so I'll probably be doing some house hunting tomorrow instead.

    Yes, unfortunately. A doctor from Columbia bought it as a vacation home. Yes a 3 million dollar vacation home...:eek3:

    He wants someone who speaks spanish to live there full time so he gave me 60 days to find another place.
