voldemort - As Kenal0 pointed out I have stated it will be no-drop. That means if you are in the rear...I will be there with you. This century will not have as many stops as a normal organized century will, but I would agree with your assessment that having moral support is better than sag support. Besides the jury is still out I think we may end up with a sag vehicle at some point.
You'll be surprised at how much faster you will end up riding when you group ride. Drafting will greatly increase your speed with little to no extra effort.
Not only do I think you should ride our ride, but I look forward to seeing you there!
