Another good one coming up quickly is the Mesquite Rodeo ride, featuring a tough 56 miles...  Current registration is $20, increasing on May 21.  The post-ride food and stuff is EXCELLENT...

This was my very first bike ride. Not knowing anything about bike rides at that time...it was great. Having ridden quite a few now....it really was great! The organization was just superb. I remember even the porta potties looked & smelled like they were brand new. Police stopped traffic at every major itersection. They have a feed at the end which was awesome and to top it all off, free ice cream!

I am planning on attending this one with Alexis as well.

I expect I should be well acquainted enough with it by then.  I should be bringing it along.   I'll have it at the picnic Sunday too if you're going to be there.

Paul, I'd guess a couple of different speed groups if there are enough of us.  My Bro-in-law says he hasn't ridden much this year so he'll not want to be in a hammer group.  I was going to hang with him and just enjoy the ride.  Who knows, he might be feeling kind of spunky that day and want to crank it out.  I haven't put much thought on where Woody can ride on the Corsa.  Have to work on that.

Kewl, sounds like we've got a good bunch forming that could do anywhere from 15-20 mph consistently.  I know that last year I hung with fast DF friends through the first 15 miles, and was averaging 21 at that time -- then I backed off after the 1st rest stop.  I don't have any issues with hanging together as a fairly medium speed group, as long as we're still averaging 15-16...  This is too fast for Richard, I think, but there could well be others for him to ride with!  (no offense, pal, if I'm thinking of the right person!)
 
It's awn!
