I too wil be starting up the mountain early, hopefully landing somewhere near Diablo Scotts spot. I'll be on my commuter weighty commuter bike with panniers filled with food and cameras, so it will be a long slow slog up the hill.
MyLilPony and I are both concerned about the after race descent. Even at the lower levels last year there were too many "I'm so cool" high speed low skill asshats unsafely coming down. Starting higher is worrisome.

Lance who?
Where's Spartacus?
JENS!
There were some mountain bikers absolutely bombing the descent last year, passing in oncoming traffic and going WAY too fast, it was the only group of riders whom I thought were really being dumb. My GF and I are gonna just hang out for a bit and then go down after most of the "asshats" have left (hopefully!)
