I have the date marked. My current plan would be to meet you all at Paint Bank. Coming from the Southern Lynchburg area seems to lend itself to a 'southern' route (~110 miles per mapquest). Where is the final destination (food)? I am trying to get a group to ride with me from my area. I hope the weather is nice.

"Where is the final destination (food)?"
Kevin, It is at the Paint Bank General Store. Where SR 600 intersects with RT. 311. Bob

Not sure if I will make it at this point. I cant seem to get anyone in the Lynchburg area interested in making the trip.
