Teams are also welcome — any group of 25 obtains a discount if registered by August 22. It’s the place to be in Delaware on September 6 — also, join Matt and Jon for a Return to Nature kayaking trip — it will be lots of great fun (good food, great friends and good times — what more do you need?)

I live in north Dover, right smack in the middle of Amish country. I remember seeing the bike tour come through, it was a good crowd. I also remember trying to get around the tour while driving. Keep those helmets on guys because the way you all ride sooner or later someone will need it!
