Pete - as far as twistys, they're probably not as good as what you're used to 250, but they're pretty nice. The section of Leeds Manor road we're going to ride really kicks ass, lots of elevation change too. Check out the route on google maps (tru, double tru!). Bring a hamilton for breakfast, the omelettes are crazy delicious.
They will most likely be completely empty - but the pace will be pretty slow either way. I'm hoping to be back in vienna by noon, so < 4 hrs.

Sorry... I didn't realize it was unreasonable to expect pieces of others' bikes not fly at your head during rides. I knew there was a reason I always ran point...

So......
Any one look at the routes?
05-12-2006, 05:02 PM
Whichever way we decided to go, it would help if you wrote the route down on a post it or small piece of paper - I have painters tape in the garage if you need it to put on your tank.
I'm not writing out directions for all of you donkeys

If you decide to deviate the 6 miles to swing by my place call me in the morning.
