1. I am planing to do some, mostly on the Allegheny Trail.

But I have had other commitments so I may have to do it in pieces instead of all at once like i wanted to.

2. Guess so...

Since we spent all our vacation $$$ getting our teeth fixed, Gas will be too expensive, and we can't find a pet-sitter....
I'm staying home this year. I'm NOT doing "Hunny-Dews" either.

So it will be a biking vacation one way or the other...

Need to get ready for the Century ride on 8-27, too....

That's a bit of a trip, y'know....

3. If anyone planning Cape Cod, contact me
I'd gladly take anyone from DU mountainbiking on over
50 miles of singletrack!

I could also give roadbikers advice.
Host tenters in my back yard ( if you like golden retrievers)
And have you spend a few hours with me protesting the war
out on rt 28 with me!

Hubby own a bike shop, and we love cycling folk!

5. Hey, they are growing it ya know!
The shining sea path that is, the one from Falmouth to woods hole
is now growing by six-seven miles into North Falmouth.

It won't be completed until '06 fall, my hubby may still have his bike shop, however we really are thinking about splitting to Costa Rica, having a B&B for bikers/birders. I just don't know that I hae the fight any longer to live in this country. The bike shop has been circa 1993. It will be sad to let it go, especially since building re-designing 2o miles of local singletrak. weird
