Maybe. I hate driving, so it really depends on what events my friends are going to do. So far, they're committed to the Savannah Century Labor Day weekend and the Ironworks Century in Birmingham October 1.

I already have plans for Labor Day weekend, and the only friend I have so far who's doing the Birmingham one lives near Birmingham, so that doesn't solve my transportation problem. I definitely want to do some events this year, though.

Maybe I can talk one of my less-cycling-oriented friends into doing the 15- or 30-mile option on one of these. We'll see.
