Just to get an idea of what the day will look like on Sunday- can someone please tell me what time the Rappa edition finished? Do we end back in Sterling at Wegmans or just end where we end?

If you choose to do the entire run, we end up right back at Wegmans where we started.

The Rappa Edition ended at about 5:30pm, but we had some delays caused by the flat tire. I'd therefore guesstimate we'll finish the Naked Edition around 5pm. We might end even sooner if we plan better with Griffin Restaurant to inform them of our menu choices ahead of time. (More on that this week)

If 5pm seems too late for you, there are 3 separate points in the afternoon that it is easy to "duck out" and head back early. First onto I-66, second on to Route 50, and finally on Route 7.

That would be a shame. I'm hoping to finish the run at 4:30pm, but I can't promise that!

2 for lunch and none for wine tasting.

We will join the second leg of the run, after lunch.

Btw, please advise the address of the restaurant.

Thank you.

Actually Stacey... you'd be a tremendous help if you could start gathering a list of everyone's choices for me! The restaurant told me that if I called when we were on the way, they'd start preparing the food in advance, so everyone gets served much faster! Call it the Official Spring Fling Scribe role!

No menu restrictions - everyone picks from the full menu.

I want Shepherd's Pie too, so that makes 2 already.

If you don't have time, perhaps someone else can help with that?
