RE: Fwd: GCCMail: MS 150...

["Huan Dinh" <huan_dinh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I understand Craig what you mean.  I have done the MS150 in '03 and '05, and 
I have no intention on riding with the pack.  I will definitely be breaking 
away and that's a promise, and I don't plan on stopping at the rest stops 
either.
I have room for 2 more bikes and 2 more cyclists if ya'll want to carpool 
and save gas.  We can leave at the crack of dawn and be back to Gville 
shortly after noon.
