That sounds cool!

Driving: I have never driven 3.5 hours to an event on the day of the event. If it is that far, I stay the night. Even for Davis double, which would take less time to drive to in the morning of the event that it does the day before (because of traffic), we stay the night. I think probably DMD was the farthest I have driven to an organized ride, and I left at 3:00 or 3:15 I think to get there by 4:15. The hard thing was driving home after 21 hours on the bike....
