Plan on seeing Dave and I there!  He may not be in ride condition due to an upcoming surgery, but I know he wants to check out any trikes that ESR bring to the event!  I'll bring my Encore.

I found this route https://ridewithgps.com/routes/10001505
 
It looks like its not bad,  I emailed the author and asked when the last time it was ridden but I've not gotten a reply yet.

Looks like the unpaved sections of the trail between Reno and Blossom will have the blacktop installed in time for the rally. I biked to the end of the Reno trail and blacktop had been added as far as I could see. The blacktop has not been compressed yet and is too soft to ride on for now.
 
It will be 9 miles of paved trail from the  Love Civic Center to the end of the Blossom trail. 18 miles round trip.

Yessir ..   Probably can't make a decision of driving or riding until I know how my work will get organized ..  Wednesday should be the drop dead date and I'll have a plan

I will see you there. I can't make up my mind up to ride or drive. It is going to be hot, for me anyways. Maybe just put it on the trailer and drive there. I will make up my mind for sure Wednesday. If I ride there, I'll leave around 3 am Thursday to try and beat most of the heat.

Too hot for me to ride, so I am loaded up and driving in the morning to Paris. I hope they have a lot of watermelon! Lol.
