I'll be there as well, along with my GRR riding bro-in-law.  Hopefully we won't be late like we were for the Mesquite ride.

I'm signed up for the 40 miler.  Last year's Peach Pedal was brutal considering it was 98 degrees, high humidity and some tough hills - I called it good after 42 miles.  Maybe the least fun I'd ever had on a bike!  Also, traffic in and out last year was VERY crowded, so leave plenty early.

I will be there also. I remember this as a real workout for me. Usually I run out of leg before I run out of air. On this one I was gasping after that one long climb.

Uh-oh. As of Wed AM, the Weather Channel is calling for a 60% chance of rain.  Maybe it'll hold off until the afternoon.....

Looks like I will miss this one.  If the transmission gets fixed on the church bus, I will be in a bus with a dozen or so youth campers o
n the way home from Glorietta, New Mexico.  If not, I will be trapped in a dorm full of girls for an extra day and return Sunday.  Pray for my sanity!  I think we will be up for the Paris ride....OK Richard? Linda

Hey, if it means that much to you, I could take your place.  I wouldn't mind too much being stuck in a dorm full of girls Wink

I made it back Saturday evening....so no one had to stay an extra night in the dorm.  If I get in that situation again, it's just so good I have someone who will so willingly sacrifice to take my place.  Grin
