GreenCactus Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Posted July 27, 2011 The route check for the pre-picnic run is planned for this Sunday. If all goes well, you'll see a new event posted Sunday night or Monday. :motor: The route check went well, but I've realized I'm just not going to have time between now and the picnic to do the final route checks (they're absolutely necessary due to a possible road closure). So, if someone else would like to take this on, I will happily pass on the route sheets. If not, I'll lead the run this fall when I have more time to prepare.
GreenCactus Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Posted August 2, 2011 The picnic is less than a week away!! Can everyone please update their RSVP with what you're bringing? We don't want to end up with one side and 15 desserts. :top:

GreenCactus Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Posted August 3, 2011 We need a few people to volunteer to cook. Any takers? Also, could a couple of people bring big coolers for the soda? Thanks!!!
kgdblu Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 I can grill....again. If our boat cooler fits in my car, I can bring it. It'll take care of all the drinks, but you'll need lots of ice.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 I'm planning to make several gallons of my fresh unsweetened mint tea. I have one of those 5 gallon orange drink coolers, I make the tea from the mint in the garden. It's really refreshing, great for those that don't want soda.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 If it's hot, I may be bringing my super soaker, is there an easy way to fill them up? Mine weighs like 8 pounds full Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Poison Ivy Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 So cool. My dad just told me he's taking me through the scenic route and we're taking the White Ferry accross the Potomac River on our way to the picnic. If anyone would like to meet us at Wegmans of Sterling to ride together please let me know. Route takes a little over an hour so we could plan to meet at 10:30am. http://canal.mcmullans.org/whites_ferry.htm White Ferry is the only ferry that still runs on the Potomac. $4 one way, $6 round trip.

GreenCactus Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Posted August 4, 2011 Laura, do you need folks to come early to help set up? I will be getting there at 10:30 to start setting up. I have a few helpers, but if others want to come, they're welcome to help. If anyone would like to come early to help with set up, please PM me. I don't want 25 people there early.
