Suggestions?

While the ride is still fresh in our minds, I welcome any suggestions that you may have for the Philly Dirty Dozen. This year, the course was changed significantly and we added a support car. I got good feedback on both of these things. For next year, I believe that the course will remain relatively similar. The only climb I have doubts about is #1 (Righer's Ferry/Laurel Hill Cemetary). I would also like to start the ride a little earlier (~8:30) so that we will hopefully have a few more finishers.

Thank You!
