Philadelphia Gran Fondo

Yesterday I registered to ride in the inaugural Gran Fondo event in Philadelphia happening next month.  I'm very excited about this because I haven't gotten to ride much lately.  Last month I had a severe case of poison ivy for 3 weeks, and with preparations to move and being a father of two little ones, it has been difficult to find time to get on the bike.  We're moving to Pennsylvania near Philadelphia.  Pennsylvania does seem to be a strong cycling state, and in fact it does have a wonderful and internationally known velodrome in Trexlertown.  I'm looking forward to the new fuji adventures I'll have there.
