BikeFest '07 in NC

[runner2]

Hi,

Any of you have experience of this even?
How's the route?
Thanks.

Lots of folks from TE are Tarwheels, and have ridden the event.

Which route are you looking at riding? Also, if you search under "BikeFest" you should find some posts talking about the routes, etc last year.

My husband and I did the imperial century as our first last year. It was a really nice ride. It rained like crazy for the first 50 miles, but the route was good. Plenty of rolling hills, but nothing too crazy hard. There were a lot of riders (considering the lousy weather) but it didn't feel too crowded at all. I think it might have been pretty hot (not a lot of shade in the farmlands) had it not been overcast for so much of it, so you might want to be prepared for that. Oh, and the best part was that the rest stops were stocked with the BEST stuff...tons of home-baked goods that were AWESOME!!

We just signed up to ride it again this year.

Are any other TE'ers planing on riding??

I'm a Tarheel by association Half of my relatives live in N.C. and my grandfather graduated from UNC. Sounds like a great ride, wish I could go, but my calendar is full.

All sweep positions were full when we volunteered (at least they're better organized this year!), so I'm not sure what we're doing - we may just ride - we might go out of town, since it's our anniversary this year

Since Bikefest is this coming weekend, I thought I'd bump this to see if anyone else will be there.

Any NC TEers planning on riding? Anyone we should look for?

We'll be there - I ride a beautiful Terry (in Carolina blue swirls) and wear a white helmet. I have no idea what bike DH will ride, but his helmet is red/gray/white. Look for us and come say 'hi'!
