What's the decision on the tattoo? Left, right? Back of calf or side?

I tattooed my bike too! On the back of the seatpost. Looks much better than it will on my leg.

So, meet about 6:45 in the registration/team area? It's not usually very crowded in the a.m., most of those thousands (?) of riders seem to arrive later for the shorter routes. And usually, once you've got your route map you can start riding.
