Second Annual AARRG planning in the works.

Brothers and Sisters,
I'm sitting in the house, snow bound and too cold to ride, dreaming of spring and hoping it to come back soon. Locally, one of the rites of Spring is Americade. Last year, I had the pleasure of starting the First Annual Americade Rib Ride and Greet. During that ride, I had the pleasure of meeting many of you in Lake George and guiding you through what I feel is some of the best riding in the area.
And, the food at the end wasn't too shabby either!
So, like I said, here I am dreaming of spring again, and getting to meet some of you again. I'm hoping to guide the second annual ride, and wanted some comments or suggestions to make 2010 better than last year.
Things that I was wondering about are:
A) Length of ride. Too long or too short? Last year it was just about an all day event. Some riding with us on V-Twins were starting to look a little saddle sore.
B) Route. Last time we took a loop route and was wondering if an "out and back" route would have been better?
C) Final location? There are some great Rib places in the area, many not as far out as the last trip. Should we stick with the same location?
D) Day of the event. Last year, we rode on the last day of the event, Saturday. Would those who are interested in making this an annual ride be interested in changing the ride day to perhaps Friday?

Looking forward to any comments or suggestions for this year.
