As far as I know, yep. I've made reservations for 23, I told them I'll keep them posted if the list becomes larger or much smaller or we change our minds and want to meet in LA or ... that's a big one with me because I used to work in kitchens. When they have to turn down diners and then we don't show....it's bad.
I wonder what happened to the base? Anyway I hope it won't unhinge too many plans as many gals (with or without Prince Charming) got hotels near the start so's to ride there.
But the fairgrounds is nearby, I think the route passed it early on years past.
Out of towners, Alameda Fairgrounds Parking lot is unpaved, depending on weather we've had by then bring your cleat covers.
