Gila Bend, Really?

After some discussion about the logistics of my Gila Bend ride this fall, I have decided to alter the rout slightly. Ok, a lot. It turns out that riding to Gila Bend isn't as big a deal as getting back. I had 2 choices. 1) ride back, or 2) have the fam come pick me up. I didn't really want to stay the night in Gila Bend and ride back and 200 miles in 1 day is out. In order for the family to come get me, it would require the kids to be cooped up in the car for 1-1/2 hours out and teh same back just to pick up their dad who got a bee up his butt to ride to GB.

So, a slight change in route was needed. I'm still going to ride a century (100 miles), just around the greater Phoenix area. I have posted my route on the right side of my blog page. If thereare any other crazy cyclists that would care to join me...misery loves company. I can offer room and board, a hot shower, relaxing in the spa afterwards, plenty of cold beer, and decent company. I'm planning to roll out on 9/26/09. Let me know, could be fun.
