2 years ago reg was easy. We picked up our packets Bingham's in Sandy on Thursday (I think). Last year, having reg picket only in Wellsville or Logan meant a huge number of riders had to check-in on the same day and there were no lines specific to the 100 mile route so we got stuck in line with everyone. We ended up behind at every rest stop and they'd run out of lunch by the time we got there -- and we weren't dawdling. I've been meaning to email the organizers but haven't had the chance.
There was no place this time to indicate if you were picking up your packet early, so I'm assuming that all the packets will be at the Wed night picket in Sugarhouse. Those of us coming from out of state may be asking for pick-up help.

BTW, I'm trying to get a head count for Bubba's Bike Hauling Service.
Who needs their bikes hauled from Northern California? Bikes would have to be delivered to us in Davis by May 29. We might be able to do a Bay Area ride the previous weekend and you could hand off your bike then.
Estimated return date to California is June 6.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

From the website:
NEW THIS YEAR: "Born to be Wild" Party. Friday, June 1st in Wellsville at Bowery Park (Center Street & Main Street) from 5pm - 8pm. Registration pick up will also be available.
Trekhawk & I will be staying Friday night in Logan at the Crystal Inn, so hopefully we'll arrive in time to pick up our packets.
(ed. to add):
I think the plan is TH and I will be driving, and will be able to transport our own bikes (you OK with that still, TH?)Last edited by jobob; 04-11-2007 at 09:06 AM.

Have a grand time you guys.
I'm going to give the Eastern Sierra Double a go that weekend. I'm a little behind where I was last year and I'd really like to get five this year.

They had packet pickup in Sandy last year as well...I am so sorry you missed it. It was indeed easier. He said last year was a mess because they had so many day of registrations - more than they ever anticipated. Originally Posted by SadieKate

If anyone needs help with packet pickup, I'll be glad to grab a few extra when I grab mine the Wednesday before the ride - if they are allowing that. Just send me a PM or post a message and we will figure it out.

I really want to do this ride. I have never done a century and I really need some goals to strive for otherwise I turn into a total slug. The drive to Utah looks a little daunting. I have to come up thru St. George, Utah has anyone ever been to that area? is the drive pretty? I think I would enjoy a long pretty drive but from my house all the way thru S. Neveda is flat desert with little else.

Las Vegas to St. George is indeed very boring. And it feels longer than it really is because of the lack of scenery. But southern Utah is gorgeous. Of course there are dry spells on any roadtrip where the scenery isn't so lovely. Originally Posted by Jones

If you do drive, maybe you can turn it into a mutli day event and stop in Southern Utah to explore Zion's or something for a day.
LRRH is really a great group ride. I think if you made the drive, you wouldn't be dissappointed. I have seen several others from Calif. coming in for the ride. Maybe you can find out about carpooling with them?

Uh, are the "several others from California" jobob, TrekHawk and me? Wrong end of the state for carpooling I'm afraid.

Someone to carpool with would be great, but with or without I just registered, so I'm in. I hope to get to meet all of you there.
I am all jittery with excitment now.
