I have the date marked. My current plan would be to meet you all at Paint Bank. Coming from the Southern Lynchburg area seems to lend itself to a 'southern' route (~110 miles per mapquest). Where is the final destination (food)? I am trying to get a group to ride with me from my area. I hope the weather is nice.

"Where is the final destination (food)?"

Not sure if I will make it at this point. I cant seem to get anyone in the Lynchburg area interested in making the trip.
