I figure we'll just go with the flow. I wanna keep the ride pretty tight to mimick the way we ride in the Dark Century. We leave no one behind. Trust me at 1a.m. on some path, u wanna be in a pack. So don't worry. The down hills will give you the speed you need.

Man, what a great way for everyone who isn't quite sure about their ability for the Dark Centruy! This will give everyone an opportunity to be ready....Three 60 milers (you know, each of those rides will be within 2 miles of a metric century (100 km). I'm ready to go!

I'm not sure how many people showed up last weekend, because I was doing the final scout of the dark century. I will be there this saturday, though.

it's still on. I'm just trying to fall asleep. Meet at 9:00a..m. and leave at 9:30a.m. by the way. Only three showed up last week and I broke a spoke on the 40th mile. We had to stop at the Bikestation then we continued on but didn't quite do the entire route. See everyone in the morning.
