The Great Big FANY ride

[Stache]

I was gonna wait until May 2nd to bump this but.....

Got an email from the organizer today saying they are way ahead on signups (ytd) so if you are on the fence I would jump before you can only look at the greener grass from the other side. Sign ups are limited.

Stache- We just had 2 more sign up before the May 1 price increase.
Our group is now up to 8 riders. 2 will be on a Tandem.
My wife and I decided to ride our single bikes instead of our tandem for this ride. We've done several century rides on the tandem last year but not multiple 75 mile days yet. Plus the singles are easier to get into hotels each night.

Now we've got to keep the rain away. Every organized ride we've ever done in the state of New York it rained. 7 days staright on the BonTon Roulet (in 2004 I think).

Way Cool!!!
We have had as many as three tandems on the ride PLUS a bicycle built for THREE!

See you in July!

Sign-ups close on July 1.
If there are any spaces left.
Heck, I don;t know I only drive the luggage truck.

So what makes a ride the "Best"?
Is it the route? The weather? the campsites? the food? Well, the one reason, or should I say the one hundred plus reasons, I keep coming back each year is the People. The old friends I get to be with again and the new friends I get to make along the way. While every FANY as been Fantastic, I honestly think this years group was the best ever. Thanks to all the FANY riders who made my week special again. I hope to see you all back next year (but without those oversized bags, you know who you are).
