Bobby I was discussing the logistics with my wife this morning and she came up with a suggestion (sorry if you've already thought of this): What about renting a one-way U-haul truck from Connellville to Frostburg or Cumberland? It would only require one of the riders (or two) to drive it back

[RBW] Re: Riv Rally East 2012

Bobby, Yes, so many options. Thanks again for all the time and organizing you're putting into this ride. I too was thinking about options and wondering if I could do something along the lines of your third choice (people doing the shuttle with a combination of vehicles). Anyway, I'm hoping fo

The early hour and drive I could do, extra uphill maybe. But I need to get in a bit of shape before then. I know that sounds sorry. Would prefer another solution if possible. Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view

[RBW] Re: Riv Rally East 2012

I'm waiting on several shuttle services to respond to my requests. Only one has gotten back to me, and they require that we rent an entire bus... Unless we have 40 people it may not be practical. One option I'm considering will be to start in Cumberland, MD, booking a hotel close to the Cumberland

The JB Greens work great on gravel and crushed limestone of the type Steve P described. No promises that you won't get a flat or six, but I never flatted them riding around Minneapolis several hundred miles last summer...until I went out to Oregon and flatted numerous times on thorns. -- You r

[RBW] Re: Riv Rally East 2012

Steve: The success of this ride will depend on a solution for shuttling riders (since it is a point-to-point ride). I've got inquiries out to half a dozen shuttle services; between them we should be able to find a solution. Depending on their capability, it may require shuttling in advance or at

[RBW] Re: Riv Rally East 2012

Bobby, I've been looking around on the GAP website and i went to some of the shuttle sites listed. I see that there are limited choices. For your advance planning purposes, please put me down for the trip, and I will need a shuttle for my bike and myself from Connellsville back to Frostburg.
