First, I must thank Mr. Silver and MrSR500 for helping me with transportation. I really did not want to ask my ex-BF for a ride! You guys are wonderful!

Second, I hope I am ready! I've never participated in this event so I really don't know what to expect. I've logged a lot of miles and a dozen centuries this season so hopefully that will help me. All I can do is ride my ride and hope for the best.

Now, I have to figure out how to shut my brain down at 3 a.m. The past few nights I've woke in the wee hours and instead of falling asleep I'm thinking about RaIN. I'm so tired!
