It would be great if my pace fell in with someone else's but I suspect that over the course of 1000K folks will get pretty spread out. Riding at night - especially the first night - with someone would be super, though, because it really is out in the middle of nowhere. The last 90 miles with no services! There's a staffed control 30 miles into that stretch at Clallam Bay at 186, but after that, nothing until Port Angeles at 246. I figure 5 solid hours in the dark, sans services. I'm just hoping to have enough water to get through that! 3 bottles is all I can carry.
Had dinner with the other 2 gals doing the 1000. Both came up from California. One call seems pretty zippy, the other definitely slower, so I may not see much of either of them out there.
7:30. Time to get to bed! I have a 3:45 am wake up call. Lights camera ACTION at 5am!
See ya on the flip side...

Good riding to you, Susan! You'll do great.
