Planning is well underway for XOBA 2022 - July 23-30. Routing will be similar to our cancelled tour in 2020, so a nice mix of flats and rolling hills with some real hills thrown in for variety.

We will be back to our cross-state adventure this year however we need to adjust what we have done in the past past to make it happen.

Look for registration to open in January or February.

So the route is shaping up nicely for next year and we have found some new places to stay and new things to do along the way. Any one want to guess at where we are going?

Going to be a great week!

Registration will open mid-January at the very latest.

So I am seriously thinking about next year's route and I am pondering something. What constitutes "too hilly" for a day's ride? Is it the grade of a particular hill? the number of hills? The overall total amount of climbing in a day? Is hilly okay when the ride is a little shorter?

Is there such a thing as too flat? Is longer okay if it is flat?

Is there such a thing as too much bike path or does it have more to do with the traffic on a path in towns rather than running across country?

Inquiring minds want some input.

New type of road hazard? Yes, they had just wandered off the road.
