I think they start packing up at about 3.30 and Im pretty slow. I know by then I will be a bit quicker but it still makes me a bit nervous.
The Buttes has a time limit? That's news to me ! I really don't remember a time limit - and I don't think it ended at 3:30, I must have staggered in well after that

Maybe you're confusing it with some other ride? It's a really good first century, it has about oh, 50 feet of climbing ... except it does have some fuuuun headwinds for the last 20 miles or so, just when you need them the most

SK, thanks for posting the link to that thread, I forgot how hilarous it was - "the look", snot rocket do's & don'ts ... ah, memories.
