Join the Accountants and Tax-payers for the Red Rum Ride:

Ride leader is Mark Tabb this year with Jim Guild and/or Steve Zeldin as backups.  First 18 and last 15 is very gentle.  The rest is tough for April 18th.  Six mile climb over South Mountain at mile 18 (very hard-lots of 14% grades) and then a two mile climb back over the another side of the mountain. The six mile climb is one of my favorites and almost traffic free. Lunch at mile 42 (if open/after both climbs) or mile 56 in Emittsburg after another one mile climb. Ride leader is in the usual poor winter shape so will be lucky to finish even though the entire ride is only an 8 out of 10. Rain (or extreme winds) date is April 19th-the next day at the same time.
