Hincapie Leigh Valley

Anyone going to the Hincapie Grand Fondo in the Leigh Valley the first weekend in June? One of my riding partners and I signed up for the medio ride. Never been on a Fondo so I am not sure what to expect. Just really hoping it does not rain.

Been to his Fondo in his hometown several times in Greenville, SC. A tad overrated, given his stature, but plenty of great people to meet and ride with.

While this one is close to me, I cannot make it, as I'll be traveling.

That being said, if it's anything like his Fondo in SC, expect nothing but a well organized event with plenty of feed zones and help if needed. I haven't looked at the course, but I'd have a 32 if it's anything like SC.

Assuming you know the Northeast as well as I, the weather is unpredictable. Hope you don't get rained on. June....you should be fine. Have fun!

I assume you mean Lehigh valley?

I might check out the route for a solo ride; lot of good stuff out that way.

I have been doing the Greenville ride the last few years and enjoy it. Even the one year when it was 50 and rainy. A fun time.

The one thing about SC is the roads are terrible. At times, you cross into NC and the roads become dramatically better. Comical actually.

I am originally from PA and know those roads pretty well and that should be a really nice ride, good solid roads.

I say we all get together and do the ride together next year.
