I didn't think it would fill up in less than 24hours but it did.. OMG!!!

Is this the norm at more popular rides these days? Just amazing. Well I'm going to give a try at buy and sell section in the registration area of their web site. Is the on line buy and sell safe? and what should I do to protect myself.

Yes , I think so.
I think that SLO wildflower and OCW's Amtrak both sell out the same day.
If you can do 25 more miles, The Cayucos club does a 200K that sounds like it's same route as lighthouse.

Lighthouse is notorious for filling quickly. So's Wildflower (SLO), I believe.

I would give the online buy/sell a shot.

Even back when, both of these rides were popular and would sell out but not less than 24 hours... geeez.

I'll look into cayucos 200k brevet..

just shell shocked. And I sent an e-mail to the guy who was selling his slot. E-mail bounced back cause he has set his e-mail on no spam/high security/ no accept to unknown sender... Tried his phone number and its some answering machine... hmmmm

Maybe I'll do the tour of three harbors by Ventura cycling club and holstein100. moo mooo

Look at the stats for registrations sold for the Wildflower. http://www.slobc.org/WfRegistrationFull.html
From January to March 15 were sold. 151 were sold in April.

Thanks Adventure girl,

I'll keep in mind. Maybe I'll go hog wild and go for Holestein100 (darn its not a pig its a cow), tour of three harbor, fall river century, and try my luck with lighthouse. :D Am not too keen on Amtrack though. Don't know why...

Solvang prelude is just too crazy so I'll pass on that.
