Sweet. I will keep my eyes out for those of you who've responded. I think I can remember the bikes/jerseys and possibly the handles but I don't think I'll remember which handle goes with which bike or jersey, so please don't be offended if I have to ask who you are. I think I will be wearing a Native Planet jersey, red with a hellow center and black tribal-type markings on the sleeves.

BikerHen - I think 2-day riders can start between 5:15 and 7:30. I don't really have any super tips....just common sense stuff like pace yourself, make sure to get enough food & water, and be careful, especially in the big groups.

TTaylor - DH & I are also going to try to leave around 4:45 to 5:00 so there's a chance we could see you at the start. But knowing us, we'll be running half an hour late and will end up not actually leaving until 5:30 or so. As long as we can finish before the last bus leaves for Seattle I'll consider it good.

Hopefully I'll get to say hi to some of you - even if not, ride hard and stay safe!
