Where are you staying? LeeBob and I are staying Friday night at the HI Express in Santa Rosa. We plan to check in for the ride on Friday evening. Dinner plans, anyone?
What distance are you riding? We both registered for the 200K, but Lee is most likely riding the 100K, he's been riding very little lately. I don't think I'll be back up to snuff for the full 200K, but I'll be happy to tag along on at least the scenic part of it.
What time are you planning on starting? What MP said, as early as we can - probably 7:30
What are you wearing? Amici Veloci my ***, of course ! and Lee will probably be wearing green wool.
Are you sticking around for the great BBQ after the ride? Duh, what do you think? (but of course)

What distance are you riding?
The shortest route possible - I am so going to die....
What time are you planning on starting
Depends on when jobob makes my wakeup call.
What are you wearing?
I think l'll ride nekkid. More than likely my AV jersey
Are you sticking around for the great BBQ after the ride?
Really depends on when I finish!
I'm at the Holiday Inn Express Friday and Saturday.
I'm optimistic about the ride, and as long as I don't hammer, I think (emphasize think) I could probably make the 200k. You might have to carry me around on Sunday, though. I'll need to put my tough girl attitude on.
I have no idea what I'll be wearing. Prolly my AV jersey. Sleeves or no sleeves?
I'll be "on vacation" so I'm going to try to make as few decisions as possible. I'm just gonna follow what everyone else does.
I'll be at registration with the sponsoring club Friday night
I'll be at the SoCo Bike Coalition table the next morning, staring at some unholy hour (6AM I"m not even sure my alarm clock will set for that early)
I'll be free around 12:30, so you may see me out on the roads, not sure what I'll be wearing though.

BikerZ and I are going to be there.
What distance are you riding? 35 miles. AKA the Bunny Ride. BikerZ's roommate will probably be joining us.
What time are you planning on starting? My goodness, I haven't thought that far ahead. According to the ride's website, we're supposed to get started between 9am and 10am. Of the 3 of us, BikerZ is the only morning person, so I'm guessing that we'll be starting closer to 10am than 9am.
What are you wearing? I have no idea what I'll be wearing -- I rarely know what I'm wearing to work when I get out of the shower on any given morning. If I had to guess, I'd say that BikerZ will be in AV wear. As for me, could be a jersey and tights, knickers, or shorts depending on the weather and how white my legs are.
Are you sticking around for the great BBQ after the ride?
Affirmative on that!
BikerZ and I are staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Windsor on Friday and Saturday.
Thanks to Deanna for the tip -- I'd tried Comfort Inn and Holiday Inn Express in Santa Rosa, but they were booked. Probably by my fellow cyclists. Hadn't thought of Windsor, though, and I didn't know about the freeway work.

I would suggest seeing if you can get into the Comfort Inn (Cleveland Ave) or Holiday Inn Express (Hopper). Not only will you be closer, but cause of extensive freeway work, getting from the other end of town, even on a weekend, can be a trial. You might also consider the Holiday Inn Express in Windsor, it's north of the start, but traffic will be lighter.
There are a couple pricier ones on the north end of town also.

Thanks, Deanna! I had no idea about the freeway work. The Windsor HI Express is a little closer than the Quality Inn that I'd previously booked. We're planning to ride to and from the start/finish to add a little mileage to the Bunny Ride, but we probably don't want to add too much mileage after the Great BBQ.
Great! It's a lot easier to ride to the start from Windsor, and there are some great restaurants in the Windsor Town Green (a safe walk from the hotel).
