As the last outdoor demo held in the east was at Mt. Creek in Vernon, NJ, which seemed to be a good central location. Also I have read that you polled people to choose the location. When I have spoken to any of our dealers in the northeast, none of them seem to have known anything about this poll. Can you enlighten me on this? I am wondering why RI?

We East Coast natives are a hearty bunch, though, and won't let a little weather get in the way of a good ride! Seriously, though, October in the Northeast is pretty mild - and has been getting milder recently... Not to jinx us in our first year, but I would guess that rain would be the only real worry. And to gauge the impact of weather on a successful bike event, just look at Sea Otter. It's the rare year when the weather cooperates and it's always a great event.

Somebody just asked on my blog about the wisdom of doing an outdoor demo in Rhode Island in October. Any thoughts on that? I've never been to RI so I can't comment on the climate there, but I was wondering if weather might be a concern. Hey Rich.
