Special Thanks to B.B. for the awesome Artwork!!
Update on 3/7/2011
Recon was done on the Route. Gravel was firm due to freezing temps. Some loose stuff. Saw some doggies out there so be prepared to deal with them. Cue sheets should be done soon so I need to start getting a head count. Ride will leave from my house and will come back to my house. There is parking and I will have some drink and food for the end of ride. Bring water, food and whatever supply needed since there will be no chance of Supplies for at least 50 miles.
thanks,
Ari

Will it actually be during the day? If so, I am in! What bike should I ride?
Mike - Huntley
Yes, It will be on Sunday Morning. We will be riding crossbikes, mountain bikes, road bikes with fat tires. We will be riding during the daylight so it will be weird.

SOUNDS VERY COOL...I will spread the word up here in the Northern Latitudes. Unfortunately I will not beable to get down as off-spring has a XC ski meet that weekend...
Hugs,

very cool graphics
I'm riding a cargo bike with a case of Busch Light.
Hillarious! Wish I could make the ride.
@Chichard:
Ride what you want, bring what you like. Your presence is priceless.

@ Hellmut:
Don't blame you for dumping our sorry asses and going to Naples, Florida to hang out with a hot Tri-girl from Puerto Rico.
Ari
Where is the start? RSVP needed?
The Start will be in Sycamore, off Peace Rd.
More to come.
Ari
How would I register?
Is anyone headed down from the north at this point?
I'd come down if I can carpool at least half the way...
There is no registration. We are just getting out there. The ride is also going to be posted on Gravel Grinder New from Guitar Ted.
Ari
There are not many things in life I enjoy more than riding bikes with you guys - especially rides that offer the opportunity to bonk.
I would really love to make this ride but unfortunately I have been quite the pussy lately.

P.S. dont sell my Gunnar!
Count me in. I'll be the slow one getting dropped right out of the gate. Will there be someplace to park at the start?
Thanks Mark
@ Mark B.
Yes, there will be parking available.
Ari
I will be there as long as the weather looks good.....I've been having serious trouble keeping my toes from freezing over, even with waterproof Goretex-lined MTB boots. Hope to make it!

Hellmut's dating a t-girl? Didn't know he was into that - freaking Florida. He's only been there a few weeks.
If you saw her you'd get into being a speedo-toting freak like Hellmut.
She is the main reason he moved down there.

Sunday looks like its going to be sunny and cold. Check the weather and don't forget to reset your clocks
