I really should have asked you about it, SB. I don't know what the heck I was thinking, and now I feel like a complete idiot. Most days are close to what I was expecting. Good rolling hills with a few steep ones thrown in here and there. It's really just Day 5 that I'm worried about (the one with over 7k in 52 miles). That would be hard on any day, but on the next to last day of riding, it seems even more intimidating. The elevation profile looks like an EKG gone terribly wrong.

I do know a couple of people who are going. I'm driving there with another rider from Indianapolis. He's done BRAT before and even he's pretty scared about this one.

I'll email the ride coordinator to see if you can hitch a ride with a SAG if need be. I'm also signed up for the camping service. The owner has been known to give people rides before.
