DTI FEEDBACK

David ,
Every option is open for now. This tour is currently a folie à deux of David Shumaker and I accompanied by delusions of grandeur. Pardon my French. Just couldn't help myself.

Bruce,
Thanks for the approx dates; if I am not completely moved into my hillside chalet by then, I suspect my daughter will have me declared a senile old dotard and hire a crew to come to Nashville and evict me.  I will be the rest of the year getting settled into my new accommodations, but I do want to pedal at least part of the final day's route; maybe I could pedal from Lamontay Lane to Paw Paw, meet y'all there and drive the sag wagon behind the group to Cox Campground so everybody can get a taste of West Va topography?  Then I could pedal/coast back to my place.  Just a thought.

DTI,
If we do it this year it would need to be late Sept, early October. As of now only David Shumaker has committed to doing it and I have yet to get Wilma's permission.

Bruce,
Wow, this is impressive!  I'm copying this to my family for their info.  Do you have approximate start and end dates?

GREAT ALLEGHENY PASSAGE TRAIL

From: bruce Sent: June 13, 2018. Tom E, That is a coincidence. Last Thursday we discussed a possible trip to DTI's in WV and I said I'd look at a northern route. Can't remember if I mentioned Aussie Bob's tour going that way. Anyway, it does appear doable. Wilma thinks I'm crazy for expecting anyone else to want to do two weeks on a bike.  Before the Fogbees I would have agreed. Since then I've learned others share my insanity.

I had not heard of the GAP. I was just curious in any of you all had ever heard about it.  I was thinking about it solely something else for us to do.  I see where it surprisingly lies on your Google query and how our signals got crossed. The fact it lies so close to DTI-WVA makes it more of a possibility On Wed, Jun 1

Side Trip - Columbus

From: David Shumaker Sent: Friday, August 10, 2018 4:51 PM Bruce, For your consideration, we can change the Day 7 route at mile 47 and divert north on the Olentangy Trail to OSU and then ride through the campus that I remember including where I was on the Oval Nov 22, 1963 at approximately 1: 50 PM (Eastern) when I learned President Kennedy was shot.  This excursion is about 5 miles.  Then I suggest the SAG van meet us at the student union and we then SAG to our hotel in East Columbus.  Saturday, Sept 29 the football game is away at Penn State.  So that day or Sunday, Sept 30 is probably better for trying to get through Columbus.  If we go through Columbus the following week then Sunday is best to avoid the home game on Saturday.  Below is a link to the revised route.  This would reduce the mileage that day from 59 to 52 total.   https://ridewithgps.com/routes/28312327
