    FWIW, I started on time and those same (?) ladies were riding in front of me.

    I wonder if last year's behavior had anything to with this year's route changes??

    Well if people can drive like they own the road, why can't we ride like we own the road? Kidding.

    Karen, have we won you over yet?

    I'm in! My third LRRH and I did the same as you, Yellow, signed up for 100 and reserving the right to bail. I figure they need that info to make sure they have enough PB&J at the final rest stops, and I want to help ensure we don't run out by the time my pokey patootie gets there! I have been on the trainer so seldom this winter, my tail is in for some serious trauma.

    I'm planning to drag my Airstream to Hyrum Lake State Park for lodging, and my coworker Kelsey is camping with. I've also got three other ladies who might come from the Hole.

    Bought a jersey; is it my imagination or do they just get cuter? Giddy up!

    Last year we ran into all kinds of TEers, who convinced us to do the distance even though we only planned on the metric. I don't know if I still have my TE temp tattoo lying around somewhere to facilitate those meetings...

    Cyclasutra- YEAH!! I have signed up, too! We all have to meet up somewhere!! I, too, reserve the right to bail on the 100. I have reserved a room at the Crystal Inn, but don't quite know what will happen just yet. My hubby was planning on coming along but we bred our dog this month and she will be having pups around that weekend if she's pregnant.

    I am glad you are coming!

    I am confirmed, all signed up. I added the ride over at BikeJournal, so if you are a member there and are going to LRRH, add your name to the ride!

    I'm not sure if I will be showing up the night before or driving up the morning of.

    On an aside, it snowed while I was riding yesterday. OK, it only snowed for a little bit, but still, it was April 16. Sheesh. (It was sunny, but still cold, when we finished.)

    Hey there Yellow - I am logging miles on bikejournal and I just added Little Red to my profile. Thanks for getting that set up - I was actually going to do that myself tonight!!

    Sorry to hear about the snow. I got fed up two weeks ago and shelled out money to do a spin class for a month. I ride 2x per week but have no idea how many miles each hour class is. I am guesstimating that we do 15-18 miles. I really need to hit the road and get some long rides in. I just don't know where to start - I am thinking that 45ish is reasonable and then I will build from there.

    What is the longest ride you all have done so far this year?

    Longest so far was 40 miles. The weather just has not been cooperating!
