Old Dominion?

[Roberta Jo Lieberman <fineprint@erols.com>]

Angie, Angie, listen to me: you are being swayed by myths. The trail 
is well marked -- yes, there has been vandalism, and last year the 
front-runners stopped to remark the trail, and no one got lost. 
Management has made superhuman efforts to make the ride a wonderful 
experience for everyone. The pit crew directions are detailed and 
clear. There are lots of people here to help you out -- including me, 
a fellow ridecamper. I promise you that you will have a wonderful 
experience. I have completed the OD 100 three times -- I've been 5th, 
11th and the Turtle .... and it doesn't matter where you finish... 
This is the ride I dream about and train for all year long. You can't 
miss it...the early morning mist rising over the Shendandoah River at 
McCoys's Ford ... the incredible views from the top of the mountains 
... the haunting cry of the whipporwhils in the moonlight as you 
gallop into Bear Wallow ... yes, the ride is difficult, but it isn't 
*unfair* -- it's the trail that George Washington rode into Fort 
Valley to prepare for the possibility of a surrender. You're riding 
through history -- and very likely making some history of your own. 
Don't deny yourself this opportunity. 
The carpet will still be there when you get back -- but there is only 
one Old Dominion.
Old Dominion? Yes, you can!
