On the Shape of Things to Come:

The Solstice Celebration Night Ride was a lot of fun, and gathered a lot of positive commentary, so…  We’re gonna do something like that again!  How about a Mid-Summer’s Eve Celebration Ride?  We’d go on Monday, 2 August.  The format will be very similar to the Solstice Ride, but a different route.  I’m thinking of a loop or an out-and-back to the south.  Start/Finish at the amphitheater again.  It’s very likely we’d leave a bit earlier.  What say?  I’d like to hear commentary on this.

Tour to Bike MS:  I’ve written about this before.  I’m going to do this.
Sept 10 thru Sept 13.  We’ll ride to Pine Mountain on Friday, do the street fair and party, do the Bike MS rides on Saturday and Sunday, and then ride back home, via the mountain, Warm Springs and Gay route, with “bonus miles” on the Concord, Digby, Brooks route, or more direct home via Harralson, Alvaton, Senoia.
The idea is a semi-self supported tour style, to and from the Bike MS event.  This could be a great training ride for those of you planning an even longer event in the fall.

Watch this space for details on Start/finish points, times, and requirements.

Late Summer Ramble?  I really want to do a multi-day tour this year.  I’ve pretty much shelved some of the more ambitious projects (Blue Ridge Parkway, Natchez Trace).  It’s been one tough year, and it is just not possible to do it all.  That said, I would still like to do a weekend, or possibly long weekend tour in late September, or Early October.  Who’s interested?
