This 600K completes my SR, so I'm good to go too. I still plan to do at least one more 600K and may do the SIR 1000K in June. It's on my training plan. I see Chris is signed up for the 1000K as well.

Would be fun to meet up in France (We arrive on 8/17 and are staying at the Mercure). Jeff is coming along as well. His plan is to consume as many calories, preferably in the form of baked goods, as I burn off. :-) After PBP, we are going to Chamonix for a week. I will relax and ride my bike as my legs allow (and eat lots of baked goods! and drink lots of wine!), while he climbs Mont Blanc.
Oh, wonderful! I believe we're coming on the 15th, doing the package trip thing, staying at the Gril Campanile. So I'll be hanging about in Paris during the ride--have a friend who lives there, but happy to spend time with Jeff if he's interested, and won't be in the least offended if he isn't. We spend a few more days in Paris after the 25th, and then go visit my brother in law and his wife in Oslo for five or so days.

Chamonix is GORGEOUS. I spent a day there in the rain in 1992 and even in that weather it was beautiful. That all sounds fabulous!

Chris noticed you'd signed up for the 1000. Have you guys actually met yet, or just read each others' names a lot??
