Robert: Yes, we all agreed we need to push it a little later. I'm conscious of potential conflicts with graduations and other events later in May/ June, but I do agree that we should never try to compete with Mother's Day (even though my mom and my wife/mother of my children claim to have forgiven me for my apparent mistake).
In fact we're already talking about Riv Rally 2012. One idea (still in the early stages) would be to do a 2-day point-to-point light touring ride along a section of the Great Allegheny Passage trail, where we would travel by train/bike to the starting point. (Amtrak has apparently announced plans to offer roll-on/roll-off service between Washington DC and Pittsburgh beginning this summer!!!) How cool would that be???!!!!
