It's a Dieter Drake production–of Battenkill fame–and I'm signed up for the 50. It's the day before Farmer's Daughter, so if you didn't get into FDGG, this may also work. Lotsa good gravel!

I'm not sure how Andy . . .
. . . is going to be able to start 700 riders at once at FDGG and still be within the present NY state Covid gathering rules. If he sends riders out at 5 second intervals, it still take an hour just to get everyone started.
He will have to make a decision on that 1-2 weeks in advance. If FDGG doesn't happen, you should know in time enough to switch. BBD

Maybe but seems like rides are getting sold out really really quickly. Personally I don’t think any may ny ride is going to happen but we will have to wait and see.
