NOTE: Neal Grotenstein was going to lead this ride but it is now being held in his memory - hoping everyone will meet afterwards at Carini's to tell favorite Neal stories. The ride leader will also bring some cue sheets for longer distances. Please help make this the joyous event Neal would want. 

What follows is Neal's original ride description:

Initially proposed by President Wilson in 1919, Veterans day reached its current form in 1954. We should note that not all veterans return able to exercise for fun.

This 30 mile ride is fairly flat, and has a food/rest stop at mile 17.

We can eat after the ride at Carini's et al.

The ride leader may cancel the ride if the forecasted high for the day is less than 45° or chance of rain is 40% or more. If weather looks doubtful contact the ride leader and/or check the Ride News in VA on the club's Home Page.
