Pat, sorry I should have sent you a private message about this. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the run myself, it's like grand central station around my house this month. Friends and family heading north and south pop in for a visit while on their travels up and down the east coast.

I think we need to find/develop a mailing list for this region. First, I'd really like to see who's still "in" and "out" in general. But more importantly, I'd like to see if we can communicate more actively. As you can see this thread has been going for a while, but you were unaware, that's a shame.

FYI, while I was otherwise occupied on Saturday, I felt bad missing the trip, so I ran up to Sugarloaf on Sunday after noon to escape my wife's "tea" (no kidding) with the Daughters of the American Revolution at my house. Two things I found, first the Comus Inn is still open (I thought it was closed), and is a great place to meet to do this run...sufficient parking lot and might be a good place to have breakfast or brunch to start or finish a run.

Second, this run was pretty unencumbered by traffic, mostly back roads, however, I'd really like to modify it to cross over into VA and run down to the blue ridge. Great roads for the Crossfire; some fast sections and lots of corners.

Did you guys follow the directions I posed or did you alter the run?
