Uh oh, Siu will be mad - another ride related thread!

Is anyone else doing this ride? I'm signed up, but still figuring out logistics (camping, when to leave to get down there, etc.). I've heard such great things about this ride that I'm using my only free weekend between now and Thanksgiving to do this one! http://www.grizzlycentury.org/grizhome.htm

I have ridden it the last 2 years. I have to skip it this year though due to another engagement.
It's one of my favorite centuries, very well organized, a lot of climbing.
Prepare to arrive the evening before. Free camping is available along Bass Lake (north west side), it's on first come first serve basis but with no sites per se, you can pitch your tent where space is available. You don't need to rush as there's plenty of space.
North Fork is about a 3.5 to 4 hour ride from the Bay Area.
