Hmm...good thoughts all. Thanks.

Yes...the elevation gain to RES would not be an equal ride. Maybe a start and end at the same stadium...out and back sort of thing. Appx. 80 miles.

Relay?

Routes would be the same...non busy roads etc.

The Holy War time frame would be verrry iffy. So unpredictable in late November. Temps range anywhere from low to mid 50's to sub freezing and into the 20's with snow and ice.

I don't think that date would work.

I do like the idea of both teams starting together from the same place.

I also like the idea of having a mixed men/women team. Time trials would eliminate everyone but the very serious cyclist. Need something so that we could get more cyclists involved.

Maybe (since there are so many 'charity' rides)...maybe, a different idea is: any number amount of teams could enter the ride (you have to represent one school or the other)...and there is an entry fee of "XXXX.XX" amount of dollars to be raised, and it goes to the Athletic Fund of the school you are representing. A trophy for the most money raised, and a trophy for the fastest finishing team.

hmmmm...think ...think....think....
