Re: Circle the Summit / Third Annual Bob Guthrie Memorial Ride Reviews

Unfortunately I didn't get to ride because of an eye infection that morning.

But in my preparation to do the ride, I found that the most difficult thing was to print out a good map. I would like to suggest that next year, you provide maps. It is no less green for you to give them to us than it is for us to print them out. There were no details on the ones provided on line and the aid stations were not clearly marked. It looked like a beautiful ride and I am sorry that I missed it.

In mentioning that no cups would be available at aid stations in order to be greener; I have not been on any ride that I remember that provides cups. We all have water bottles.

Re: bikes & car rentals?

Hi, I suggest you not worry about it and just plan to take the front wheel off your bike and put it in the car. I went to New Zealand with my bike once and they had no rack. They also surprised me with a very small economy hatchback car. After my shock and wonder about what I was going to do to accomodate my bike and luggage, I got to work taking off the wheel and carefully packing everything. It all fit in easily and I was able to remove my bike every day without a hassle. I have also taken off the front wheel and put my bike in the back seat of a car. So, you will be fine. I also suggest you say as little as possible to the car rental company and just know it will work out. Good luck! Jan
