Horsey Hundred May 24, 25 - Who's in?

[chicago]

hey I will be there!! My bf are going as well as alot of folks from our bike club.

Are you all meeting somewhere just to say hi?

oh and we are staying at the university. I hear good and bad things... but I am sure this year the dorms are air conditioned... hoping so. ... but that's okay, we are headed to Canada for 18 days in July, and will be camping through our bike tour... I need to get used to "roughing it", LOL!

Chicago, if this crazy weather continues here in Kentucky AC won't be an issue. In fact, you may be asking them to turn the heat on in the dorms. Today's high is forecasted to be 65F - so weird!

Yep, as we get closer, let's see if we can coordinate a place for a meetup and a quick picture. Last year, I think we pm'd cell phone #'s.

Currently, I'm planning on the 100 miler on Saturday and the 52 on Sunday (unless I want to go to Paris ). I'm not particularly fast either but a nice paceline helps!

I think Silver and I are shooting for the Century on Saturday and Paris on Sunday. Remember, it's not a race. Last year, we averaged faster than we expected without a pace line...I think our average was in the 15 to 16 range.

We're going to check in Friday. We're at the Hampton. All the hotels are mostly in the same proximity, and for those who want to, the ride to the college is on decent roads (only about a mile).

Marcie, sorry you're tied up...I remember you saying that now.


Last year we met makbike at the bottom of the step just north of the door to the check in area. It looks like this:

indy...you want to give her some insight?

My husband and I were planning it all spring, but at $4/gallon we couldn't drive 1,000 miles for a weekend of fun. And we love road trips but we have a big one coming up in September that we are pinching pennies for.

Oh, come on...you can ride cross country!
