Gotta admit though, after hearing or reading the accounts from Twain, Raleighdon, Glenn (gw_12) as well as from some of the TNT gang, it sounds like the Death Ride is suffering from overpopularity. Happens to many of the good rides, alas.

Eh, I'm still going to train for it on next year's TNT team. I've already raised about 2/3rds of my minimum, and due to my "fortunate" timing I'll get to roll it over into next year's fundraising effort.

Plus I've already heard from a few team members who plan to do it again. It was a great bunch of people this year and I have no doubts it'll be a great bunch next year.
