2010 RRR details can be found at http://www.ravenrockramble.org/routes.htm

2009 was great weather, a little hilly and a bit more chip seal pavement than necessary but a well put together event.

This is a really nice skride and well supported.

The computer ate my wonderful write-up!  So go to the website, check it out and envision a nice Memorial Day weekend ride!

Now this one is a blast!...very well supported, a little hilly but very scenic.

The 2009 event was on July 24th, and a moment ago I could've sworn the same date was for 2010 --- now I'm not so sure. ARG.

There's a FREE training ride in Lewisville this weekend. It's free even if you don't sign up for the Tour to Tanglewood for MS. These training rides are usually as good or better than rides you have to pay to attend. Rollout is 8 a.m. and registration starts at 7 a.m. or so. They roll promptly and rarely have been known to even roll a couple of minutes early maybe, so it's good to be ready.

I don't know the routes or distances, sorry. We'll likely do a route in the mid-30-mile range if there is one and if there is also a longer distance. Anyway that's what I know.

* Ride Starts: 8am

[Note: This entry incorrectly corrected then recorrected by roadskater. Thanks to MikeB for posting the event!] The Carolina Tarwheels Bikefest 2010 Rural Heritage Tour will be August 7, 2010, according to their website as of this writing:

http://www.tarwheels.org/clubportal/ClubStatic.cfm?clubID=1660&pubmenuop...

The NCBC calendar appears to be wrong on this date.

the 2010 dates are 9/25 and 9/26, with details found on their website as they develop:

2009 was a great experience!

Sign up until 11.59 PST today (tax day special, April 15th 2010) at Active.com, or print out a mail-in form to do A2A for *$50* (all distances: 38, 52, 87).

UPDATE 4/16/2010 - Active.com registration is still open through today, April 16th, because there were reports of technical problems. So you can still sign up through active for $50 today. But then that's it.

last year's Tour de Pig was on the same weekend as A2A. But it appears the 2010 Tour de Pig will be 10/09/2010 (the weekend after A2A).

More details will post at http://www.bikeride.com/calendar/event.asp?id=15611
