No, this is my first time to go. Fortunately for me I live in OR--registration opened at 10 pm my time. But did it ever fill up fast! Right after I registered myself, I went back to register my sister (so she didn't have to get up at midnight--lives in FL) and the registration was full!

As for the pace--I think this is all about the scenery, food, music. There are many stops that sound wonderful. I think you can set your own pace. That's how it is in most rides I do. There just aren't that many miles to cover each day in order to savor the area. At least that's my take on it. It must be terrific, as it sells out so fast. KB, I'll see you there! We'll have to make plans later on.
