1) I was not planning on holding the ride this December. It was an
idea of winter of 07-08.
There is plenty of gravel and grass parking lots to hold all the trailers.
It's very open with woodsy sections, very twisty and turny, sloping hills, all
groomed trails.
2) I was planning on it being here and not other areas where rides
have been held in the past because I thought it would be exciting to do it when
they held all the amazing hughe christmas lights, music, animated lights, etc.
from the end of november throughout the beginning of january. I will try to get
some pictures.
3) Also, I haven't found out for sure about camping but there have
been events held there many times where there was overnight camping.
4) And, during December in PA. It is usually cold and no one is at
the parkway at all. But, even though it is cold I don't think there would be a
high chance of a weather issue as of snow, sleet, or ice. Normally, in December
we don't get much. And I've been to some other rides where there are many
pedestrians, cyclists, walkers, etc. That wouldn't be a problem at all
here.
5) And after I thought about it, I would be able to make it a 50 or a 55
miler and a 25 LD.
