Civil War Century - 9/6/08

Great!
For those curious....the Metric and shorter rides look at the mountains, but don't climb them. Only the 3/4 Century and the full century climb them.
The shorter rides are pretty flat.

I'm doing the metric with a friend. We'll be driving up from nova so will probably be starting on the late-ish side. If anyone wants to meet up with us at the start, let me know.

Can't wait for those tomato sandwiches!

I am definitely getting there at the buttcrack of dawn this year.
We need to pick a place to meet up.
Like right at the corner of that building.
Or we could use cell phones.
Oh. Yeah. Cell phones. I forgot

ETA- for anyone reading this now and considering this, sorry. The ride is full.

We'll be there around 7:30 for an 8:00 departure with the folks from the Bicycle Place.
Look for us by the white house at the registration area. We'll all be wearing Bike Place team jerseys. There will be about 15 of us.
Say Hi. If you're doing the full century, keep me company when I get dropped on the first climb!

I know that ride registration is closed and that this is very last-minute, but DH and I just found out that we don't have to work that Saturday! So, if anyone has 2 CWC registrations that they can't use and would otherwise go to waste, we'd love to have them. I'm happy to reimburse the registration fees via Paypal or in person.

Please let me know by Thursday if you can help me out! Many thanks in advance!

Does anyone plan on riding in the rain?
Not me. Wet brakes + those hills= bad.
I ordered a T-shirt so I'm going pick it up Friday night at the pre-registration.
If anyone else got a shirt and isn't going to ride I'll try to pick it up for you.

Wet brakes + those hills= bad.

I come up with the same results when I do the math.

I'm really looking to see how Hanna tracks.
I may look to do the metric (flat) if it's *chance* of rain, but if it's already raining come Friday night (or Saturday a.m.), chances are, I'm shutting off the alarm and sleeping in on Saturday.

And thanks, but we didn't order the t-shirts....
