Logistics/Other: If anyone wants to commute over with me, we can meet at my house, I will leave at 6:00 AM (ouch!). Have room for up to 3 more riders if needed and bikes too. No kidding! Simply amazing what a mininvan can do when converted to a SAG vehicle. However, security regulations will restrict each passenger to one personal carry on item only please! I will have pump and tools too. Please email me mogus@earthlink.net and let me know if you are riding and if you want to commute over together via gas powered vehicle to the start location.

Check back for updates to this blog entry regarding route specifics.
