I'd like to get down there sometime this summer for sure if you want to make a trip of it. <BR/><BR/>Ricky, I do wish I could have ridden this race. I missed it last year too. It's still one of the best races around. Only Dharma and Chris Webber made it down this time around. Seemed we all had some sort of family function this weekend.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11237868263019835891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300409095598374461.post-69708673632190298142008-05-06T06:08:00.000-05:002008-05-06T06:08:00.000-05:00Icon: I was...uhh..."exploring".gmr2048http://www.blogger.com/profile/07617137340771802167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300409095598374461.post-63964474809313371892008-05-05T20:51:00.000-05:002008-05-05T20:51:00.000-05:00G-man, no fee required, though a donation is appreciated (and only fair--these are some fantastic trails considering their proximity to the DC metro area, and the land is privately owned, so there's no federal or state funding). The downside is, sometimes the owner closes it for hunting and because of weather or for other reasons, so heading down there on a whim is a bit risky.<BR/><BR/>Great race; perhaps the best course (and weather) in 5 years.<BR/><BR/>Great pix, by the way. Nice job. But what were you doing in the woods 4 hours before race time? ; )Icon O.

But apparently they are open (for a fee) at other times of the year, so I may have to make the drive down there one day soon and give them a ride.gmr2048http://www.blogger.com/profile/07617137340771802167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300409095598374461.post-43479263808437726472008-05-05T14:54:00.000-05:002008-05-05T14:54:00.000-05:00Thanks for the kind words, Lee! Sorry you couldn't make it out. From what I remember of (hanging out at) past Lodi events, this one was pretty nice (weather-wise). We haven't even brought up the Lynard Skynard cover band, tho.
