VA instead of NC?! - a much easier journey for anyone from the UK wishing to attend the Cirque.
Respect to Dale - and of course no disrespect intended to NC - but it's a complete pain in the a--e to get to from Luton Bedfordshire.
Additionally, located in Leesburg (v.nice - I remember taking a 'comfort break' there on my way to Gettysburg last October) it'll be so much easier to persuade a non-cycling wife as to the virtues of a hop across the pond for a week - what with the attractions of DC (which she's sworn to re-visit) and PA nearby...
On that basis I hope to be at the "Cirque 2008".
