(one more week!)

I just pupped out and made a hotel reservation ($29) for Saturday night. I'm still going to camp Friday night at the ride start, since that was my reason for buying the cool super light tent, was because of the hotel room $$ I'd save on this ride. But I got to thinking, hot bath all to myself, my own bathroom, only $29, it's worth it.

I talked to a guy last weekend who has done this ride numerous times. He says don't think of it as two 100 mile rides, think of it as 6 35 mile rides with a gourmet meal in between each. I am so looking forward to this!!

I wonder what it's going to be like, riding "only" 100 miles in a day. Pretty weird.

Except the stress of leaving Mr. Bird home with BF for two nights...(Dill is _so_ high maintenence- or I should say, has the potential to get himself into trouble if not closely supervised.)

Hope to get more SE riders next year!! (Juju, aren't you up around there???)
