[Triangle-AR] Rogue-Bike 0 Rama

[DaiWai M. Olson]

Sorry I missed the event - had to earn a living instead.
I remain interested - and know of a few others.
If you have the coordinates to the past weekend event - I'd like to give it
a go on my own time.

See y'all at SOAR

thanks

Here's a public "thank you" to Bruce for organizing the Rogue-Bike 0 Rama!

I think I counted about 11 people there at the start. Not sure how they
all did in the end, but I timed myself at 3:30 even. At least 5 people
were enjoying cold drinks by the time I rolled back into the parking lot
- another solid mid-pack finish. :)

For those of you not present, here's some of what you missed. The mess
that Alberto left behind in the Triangle threw some extra adventure into
the mix, but nothing that couldn't be overcome. Bruce's route provided a
good overall tour of the Umstead/Crabtree/Cary greenway areas that many
of you should already be familiar with (if you're in the Triangle). The
maps were basic, but provided enough detail to work with. I found myself
trying out a few new ways to get from A to B, instead of sticking purely
with the greenways or main park trails like I do on training rides. For
the most part that worked out fairly well. Bruce even worked in the
scenic bike/ped bridge over the 440 beltline. If he had set #8 a little
further down Hillsborough Street, I would have had an excuse to stop at
Ben&Jerry's for some refueling. Maybe next time.

How much interest is out there for more Rogue events? I'd be willing to
do the grunt work to help set up another course like this if there is
interest.

Thanks again, Bruce!
