These do look good and the shorter distances offered would be good training rides for my eventual attempt at a Century. I guess my bike wont ride itself a HUNDRED MILES (OMG when I convert that to KMS I feel a little sick).

So three questions.

1. So you can just turn up and register for the first three of these on the day?
(That works well for me as not sure yet when Pete will be getting home)

2. I didnt realize single riders were welcome at the Tandem ride so that one looks like it could be fun. How fast will all you Tandems be moving? Will I be eating dust and then cheering myself in at the end while all the rest of you riders are at home eating Dinner?

3. Did I read that part of the Unknown valley ride is on gravel? Hmm not sure how I would go on that.
