Wow, thank you all for the terrific advice! I had checked out the website, but thought much of it was sort of just spouting off. Got some great ideas from everyone I would not have thought of (bringing my own hand wipes, ice in the sports bra!, etc) and I am especially glad to know that it took an hour to get rolling after the start -- given my practice runs so far, I know that I can hit the 63 mile mark in 4.5 hours, which has included generous full stops to eat and stretch... but an hour to get rolling would put me just at the cutoff point.
I am going to re-read all of your suggestions and take to heart the well-taken point about people ending up with IVs in them. And I will definitely post and let you know how it went! I am very appreciative of all of you who took the time to offer your wisdom!
P.S. I am fortunate that a friend of mine is doing the ride and offered to share her hotel room with me... that she booked a year ago!
