Looking for interested parties for PA Paleo II.  Route is TBD, but departure/return point will be Parker Dam State Park.  

Basic itinerary:  Ride Saturday (start pedaling at 8:00AM) 50-70 or so miles... mixed surface,  camp, eat Paleo , return ride on Sunday... clean up at park... maybe burger at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub.
