Now UKE just needs $775 more and we can pre-book our tent assignment

Congratulations! You won't need to pre-book the tent assignments.

Just show up at that last booth on day 0 together.

Since you've met your pledge goal you skip the pledge area. By then you'll have sent proof of medical insurance (and no, just saying "hey, I'm Norwegian, she's living in Wales we all have insurance. You should try this sometime" won't do it) you'll skip medical booth.

You should get a form in the mail soon or already have that you mail in and skip that stop. If not, check with your rider rep. Is Russ your rider rep?

I'll think of some Day 0 tips and others may chime in too. Snap knows a lot, she volunteers at tent registration.

The last thing is the safety video, you have to see that before they'll give you tent assignment. If the 3 TE riders we have so far want to tent near each other you should coordinate that.

Thank you mom!
I've been struggling to find time for more fundraising with the moving house and new job taking up too much time. But Hopefully things will start to settle down soon. I'm aiming for a big push with more bake sales and letters in April when I have a pause from lecturing for a few weeks.

As for the training, I'm a bit behind with the moving, but now that we are settled I can get back to cycling to work and doing my cross training and extra rides. I will at least get plenty of hill training around here.

This year they're offering pre-assignment via Internet, starting in a couple of weeks and lasting until mid-May and on the condition that you've met your fund-raising minimum and sent in your medical waiver form. The incentive there is that it saves you one more line on Day 0. Having seen those lines when I was a Day 0 volunteer, I'd be very happy to have one less line to stand in. That much quicker out to dinner and the hotel, that much more sleep time (or lie in bed nervously sleepless time ) before 4am next day.

one step closer...I filled in my medical form...now I just need to get fit and healthy again and get back into shape and find the last few donations to reach my goal and there is only a few weeks left!! panic!!!

But I had a read through the route description on the alc web-site and got very excited to get out there and see it all! It is a beautiful ride, despite the hard work.
