I think that's exactly what I don't get about it.

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
Random babblings and some stuff to look at.
I guess I thought this was kind of like the American Cancer Society's relay for life, where you have a team of people and always someone out on the track (at least my team always did that, most 2AM shifts it seemed that we were one of only a few teams with the whole 24 hr concept.) We had a tent set up and could sleep if we wanted, chairs to sit around and hang out when it wasn't our time to be on the track. So just like that, you have a team and you take turns being out on your bike, rather than running on the track. Some teams could be one person, or 10 people. Again, that was just the way the relay for life was when my friends and I used to do it.
You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!
I'm interested.
The "Relay for Life" is a good model, a good way to think about this.
And if there is camping space available, I have a six-person, two-room tent that can be used for a team. I don't know whether I remember how to set it up, but I'm pretty sure the instructions are still with it!
this is apparently in the BF's office park. One of his female coworkers is looking for team members if you want me to get her contact info?
I'm still interested and it looks like registration closes on September 11, so there isn't a ton of time left to do the necessary fundraising. If someone, anyone, is forming a team, I'm willing to participate. Will bring tent and some chairs if necessary, and lots of enthusiasm!
With some reluctance, I've decided that this is not the type of event that's meant for me. By 4pm, I'm fading, and there's no way I can stay up through the night, so I'm going to pass. If someone signs up, I'll donate!
I gave Owlice info on a team to join & she did. She'll probably know if they're still looking for more members if anyone else is interested.
