It looks like I'll have about a week in July to do some riding. I'm looking for a good multi-day
ride - something like BRAG, but BRAG is in June and probably won't fit my schedule.

I'll probably be able to take the second or third week.

Thanks,

-Dondo

My issue of Adventure Cyclist magazine arrived and lists many organized July 2003 events, but only
CAM in the southeast (if Maryland counts as southeast):

I've also used sites such as http://www.biketour.com and http://www.nbtda.com to search for
organized tours.

You could also do your own self-supported ride during that time. Gives you the freedom to go when
and where you want to ride.

Ol' Man River Tour Jul 12, 13 9 AM Reelfoot Lake Airpark Also known as the Tour of Three States,
this ride begins at Reelfoot Lake Airpark (look way up in the Northwest corner of Tennessee). We'll
meet there at 9 a.m. and ride north to Hickman, Kentucky where we'll stop for coffee and then cross
the Mississippi on the Hickman ferry. We'll regroup on the Missouri side and ride to New Madrid for
lunch, noting the levees that contain the Mississippi River. After lunch, we'll continue on to
Sikeston where the Day's Inn will welcome us with showers and an indoor pool. For dinner, we'll head
to Lambert's, home of the "throwed"rolls where the dining experience is truly unique. The return
trip on Sunday leaves at about 8:30 a.m. and takes us through East Prairie and back across the big
river to Reelfoot Lake. Call the Days Inn (573)471-3930 to reserve your room. Call Ed Jones
(901)374-0582 to let him know you are coming.

Grins, Art
