Anybody doing the Arlington 500 out of Barrington tomorrow? 30,44,54, or 68 miles(500 furlongs)I'm thinking about doing the 44, maybe the 54.

I'm planning on doing the 68. I've never ridden it though so no help on that. Wonder if the routes are similar for the 54 and 68?

I think so. Not sure how many years they've had it but remember seeing it last year although I didn't ride.
I will be there at 7:00 to register. I'll be wearing a RAIN jersey, have curly blonde hair and a black Fuji with aerobars. If anyone would like to ride with me, that would be great. I usually ride around 17-18 mph but am willing to go slower.....or faster if you want to pull me along with a rope. :)

Yeah this is an annual thing. I rode it last year. It's a nice route with a couple sections of some minor rollers.

I don't know about making it by 7:00, but I'll be wearing a Mardi Gras jersey and ride a silver Trek Pilot 2.1. Hope to see you there.
