I don't know if I can start early. The website says the 46 miles riders are "released" at 12:00. The 64 milers are released an hour ahead of that. I'll come early to see if I can start early. I have to pick up my packet anyway.
I'll not worry too much about the drinks. When I went 37 miles I was totally happy to eat a few nuts and fruit and drink my water.
The ride does not go up the shore--it would be nice if it did, I like that ride and it would be cooler. This one runs along the Munger trail, one of the country's longest paved trails from outside Duluth going south. I've biked on it before, nice and flat but there are some rough areas due to frost heave.
