Just for the heck of it I'm going to toss out The Hermitage. The only thing is it's may be to long of a ride for some and it's the slab all the way.

That is a great place Kawhead. It will be a 12-14 hour day if we do that (4 hours each way, including 1 pit stop per leg). I don't have a problem with that.

**Kawhead** · 02-20-2012, 10:29 AM

That was my thoughts too. It could be a nice long all day easy ride. I was going to do that one anyway on a free day or something. Historic sites are for lame stuffy old men. Not everybody's cup of tea.

Thats a good stop on the way. Goose can work it out. That man can text, ride, talk to his wife, and shuffle cards with his toes while scraping the floorboards.

Goose is the man when it comes to multitasking on a bike
