After last Saturday I have high weather expectations -- it doesn't look like they'll be met, tho.  I'll be wearing lots of layers Sunday

If you want a map of the ride go to teamevergreen.org , ride calendar, and way at the bottom of the page is a link to a map of the ride.  The ride doesn't look too bad at all.  They completely changed their website recently....
