<< 1. I've made maps where the Battlefield Inn, the Lewis Recreation Center and the cycles de ORO locations are, is there a good cycling route from the Inn to the Center? Up Lawndale, or too busy a route? >>
Lawndale is not bad, especially in off peak hours, and there actually is a more circuitous city bike route that is nearby that uses quiet neighborhoods.
<< 2. What're the hills like on Saturday & Sunday rides? Can old farts ride it on a corncob, or should we being the triple cranks? >>
Maybe something in the middle! There are some ups and downs as the course descends into lake areas and climbs out but nothing grueling. Comments from last years attending "Cirquies?"
<< 3. Is there a white elephant table, that is, if we have 3~4 things to sell, we can put it on a group table? >>
No, however two enterprising goofs that work for me at CDO have set up a service.. They will sell your odd items on their tables for a commission! Jason and Jackson are the dudes.. They actually are good guys and can be approached before the event at CDO or that AM.
<< 4. Got a weather forecast yet? >>
According to Col. Lou Detter, retired, our official weather prognosticator, it will be a perfect cycling weekend!
