It's looking like I have to bail from this trip. Just got hired to play guitar on a recording session. Could lead to more work, so I have to grab it. Also, I have been blowing off my weekend guitar students for the past several weekends (so I can do rides and trips and stuff), so it'd prolly be best that I make myself available to them before they quit taking lessons from me. I hope y'all have a great time!!!

Good news! My own bike's back from Cory the Bike Fixer. I'm pleased with the repairs. I'm "go" for this weekend.

We're all going to die out there, aren't we?

Well if it gets really dire, you can give me a call and I can provide sag support although you may need to wait until I'm done racing my bike around in circles. ;-)

POSSIBLE ROUTE MAP

If anyone needs another route alternative, rode this way last year. Very calm route overall. The cross on the map is the LaGrange General Store and bike shop that you got to stop at, great beer and food.
