Thanks. I actually thought about saying I was going (I wouldn't lie), but I only get to see my mother twice a year.

It is up to the rider to choose and provide their own safety equipment. A common question is "are helmets required". The answer is YES if you are under 18 years of age.

Tentatively leaving around noon, so four hour drive, plus losing an hour puts me there around 5 PM. Will set up camp, and then head out for supper (Oak Ridge) to a place whose owners used to live across the street from me when I was a mere lad (they moved to Oak Ridge when I was eleven or twelve). Guess I won't be wheeling Friday evening unless a gaggle of other folks plan to.
