O.K. we've got a truck and small trailer so I've got my bike and maybe one other possible.  School isn't over for us until the first week in June so hopefully after that would work for this trip I think.  I'll keep an eye on this thread.

do this ride during the middle of the week if you can.  lots of troopers there last year and crowded as hell during the weekend with squids running like hell on the parkways.  just an FYI.

It will depend on when everyone arrives.  If you guys leave on wed after work you will get here thur night.  Rest all night and go for the ride on Fri.  but we will play it by ear. 
Lisa you coming with alan or with chris and george?  either way is fine with mindy and I.  there is plenty of room here at the house.

after some discouraging news in a meeting today and conversations with alan and george. we will leave the after i get off on wed may 27 and be back on jun 2. sorry lisa but it was this or basically july for me they told me today no manager vacations in june due to garage sale.

lisa you and alan can come anytime you want.
