I'm such a glutton for punishment that I just signed up for the 200k again. Bubba also.

Deanna, are you volunteering again? Maybe I can time it so I actually see you.

Is this the one I slept through? ;)
I think you went to a dog parade instead.
Signed up for the 35 miler. :D
Just kidding! Signed up for the whole she-bang (200 K) because someone told me that it's one of the prettiest rides she's ever done.
Guess this means I'll be making a road trip!

Damn. Guess I should sign up for this too.....if only to attempt a meeting of the famous Yellow.:cool:
Done.
I'd better get on my bike soon......
Darn tootin', sweetie! :)
T & V are signed up. :D
V.
Hmmmm. Any chance we could organize an after ride dinner or something? Or are you all headed home after the ride?
I will be volunteering--they started beating the drums in January. I'll probably be at one of the rest stops (likely Wohler Bridge) this year, or, possibly as a course host--then I could be out there riding.
We're in! Great ride.
Glad that Yellow's making the trek - how very cool!!
Are all of you guys doing the 200k? Anyone interested in the metric?
I was interested in the 100k, but I signed up for the Grizzly Peak Century (first loop) instead.
I've crazily signed myself up for the full century (my very first... if I finish it that is :p )
I signed up for the metric - always subject to change to the even shorter route, depending on my fitness level at the time.:cool:
Join the TE girls hill climbing club snap. We'll get you in shape and you'll have fun. Jo, SK and Kim are always fun to hang with. MP too when she deigns to join us. :D
V.
I'll ride with you, Snap!
I'm hoping melissam will go, and my friends Mary and Nicole too. Looks like fun!
So far it's been mostly trainer miles for me this year, except for a few saddle break-in rides. It's all about the saddle for me on a metric - I'm trying out a Brooks now, and I might get my butt onto the Selle An-Atomica and give that a try.
Z, I've heard lots of raves for the Selle An-Atomica, you should give it a try !
I signed Lee & me up for the 200K, but it sounds like Lee is going to opt for the 100 mi or the metric instead. He's having second thoughts about this long-distance thing...
Right now I need to get my base built...again. I'm sure my average speed is somewhere around 10 mph, on the flats! I can't keep up with you guys!Quote:

Speed doesn't matter. It's about the company.Quote:

No more doggie parades!!! (Well, I'm sure that was fun, but seriously.)

PS I have it on good authority that BikerZ will be auditioning the Selle An Atomica within the next week or so.
:cool: excellent
Hmmmmmmmmmmm... maybe I can do the 37 miler. We'll see!
I would love to come ride this with you all but being about 3 hours from home it will be a long day. After April's ride schedule I think I need to save up some babysitting points with my husband for LRRH.;)
I registered for the 100K last night and today there are no more entries left. I have a cycling friend who would like to register. Does this event allow other riders to buy an entry from someone who cannot participate?
What would be the best way to try to get waiting list info, etc?
Thanks for your help and info!
BTW, yes.Quote:

The ride sold out at 11:30 last night. Whippetgirl, you may have been the last registrant. I would send an email through the SRCC page about somebody taking over a registration. I believe it's been done, but I'm not sure of the procedure.
I'll be at check-in Friday night and then at the SoCo Bike Coalition table at the finish (probably all day). Stop by and say hello!
Is the entire ride sold out - including the 200k? (I am registered, but just want to make sure I know in case someone asks.)
Yes, completely closed. The email went out this morning that it's the earliest we ever reached our size limit.
Bump.
OK, who is signed up for what?
Since I haven't been riding much, I'm thinking I'll probably do SK's modified route or the 100 k or something other than the 200k. I seriously doubt I could make the whole 200k, even if I quit running right now and do nothing but ride between now and May 5. Here's the longest ride I've done to date, completed today (I don't know if you have to be registered at MotionBased to see the link or not. Also, I obviously don't have my HR zones programmed correctly...I think I should be dead if I was actually in Zone 4 for that long). Those jokesters at the bike shop told me I had a 27 in the back (this is a new bike, for those of you that don't know) and when I got home I looked closely...it's a *%$@*^$ 25, not a 27. :mad: Between that and running (9.4 miles) yesterday, my legs are beat.
I am definitely getting a 27 for the ride. Maybe even something bigger if we can do it with the RD that I have.
I'm looking forward to the road trip and to seeing everyone (and meeting new people)!
I'm signed up for the 200K but depending on how it goes, I might opt for the bailout, which I gather would make it a century. Or, if I'm going so slow that they boot my sorry butt onto the century course at the Alexander Valley/Dutcher Creek turnoff...
Lee's still getting over the lung crud thing he has going :( so he might do the metric instead.
Jobob, you are completely compable of making the Dutcher Creek turnoff. Period. Kwicher sandbagging.
Yellow, I'm hanging with you whatever you want to do. Lower elevation may help a bit (though not the tookas). The first half of the 200k is the must do part. Besides, there will be more bons-bons for the early finishers.:p
//in singsong voice
I'm doing the bunny ride! :D ;)
//end singsong voice
WTF is the "bunny ride"??? :pQuote:

Good news: I went by the bike shop today and gave them he** about my cassette. They claimed they never told me there was a 27 back there cuz Campy don't make no Veloce 12-27...a 12-26 or a 13-29. So on Wednesday I'm going in to the shop and we're building a 12-29. :D That makes me feel a little better, anyway.
BTW, I had to WATER THE GARDEN today, while you Kalifornians got dumped on. The poor rhubarb was all wilty. Having to water in April is just wrong.
Bunny ride? Big fluffy clouds? Carrot fields forever? A briar patch?
All I need is superironwoman from high elevation to chase over Coleman. I think I'll carry the bon-bons.
Bunny Ride = Shortest possible route. In this case I think it's 35 miles. ;)
I am doing the 200k; I hope I see bunnies and I'd like some of that liquid superwoman iron supplement, please.
By this point in the 200K , you've done most of the extra miles--they get added on during the ride over Coleman to the coast. If you make it to Dutcher Creek, you might as well stay the course.Quote:
