The 12th American Tour de Sol, the alternative fuel vehicles race from NYC to Washington DC. runs from May 14 - 18. There are events all along the way that are listed on the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association website: http://www.nesea.org. Last year's event in NYC was rained out, but I hope to see you there this year - if you're not at one of the many conferences that week.
