We looked at some houses there. Hopefully it will be dry the week before the ride so the roads are not flooded or anything. Blackland clay soils do not drain well... We might even get to this ride. After all, it is pretty close to Paris.

Vic, what I'm asking about is the surface, smooth or chipseal. It seems you know what it looks like there, what is your prognosis, Doctor? If I go, and it's country, I will have to take the bike, if it's complete. It's still waiting for pedals and a bag. Country or city?

Anyone planning to do this one? I'm considering it, for the 60... Paul

I'll be there assuming the weather conditions are good if you want to join us/me. I'll be looking to do the 60 mile route at 17-18 avg if I get others. If I'm solo it will probably be less.

However, I haven't pre-registered -- I'll wait on clear skies... Paul
