Michael, my "Ride Husband" (don't worry my real husband calls him that too)
Right about now you are all searching for every little bit of information on what the Ride is like... pictures, blogs, what to bring, etc. I know because I still remember my first ALC Ride and pre-ride "need for info" with great detail. I'll try to impart a little bit of wisdom here in the next few weeks, but thought I'd forward you the link to my tentmate
Michael's Blog. It's all about ALC 5 (last year's ride) He's got photos and info and since he's a graphic designer, it all looks really good!
