Can you still sign up?

I'd like to.
PEte

I'm in.

Pete,

It looks like the only wave left you can sign up for is the 80 min + group. Too bad since I know you could break an hour. You can still go as fast as you want, but you'll have traffic in front of you from that wave.

lol... Pete, I'll join you in the 80+ wave so we can feel like we are really fast ;)

I'm in.

It's for a good cause and, it's a lot of fun too. Several years back, I was closing in on a rider on a commuter bike...he gave me the look, stood up and pulled away. Lolz, owned by a commuter.

I saw it!!!

I'll just grab your wheel to get through the hairy parts.

Sigh...it's been a long day.


Can't make this date for 08, but I think this will be a must do for me next year.

I'm in - they put me in the 17th wave (right behind the unicycle, but in front of the one-legged rider on the 40 pound recumbent). I'm hoping to break six hours this time...

Actually, I've never made it to the top: I live 10 miles from the South Gate entrance and I always ride from home. Last time I went up (a couple weekends ago), I reached the 3000 foot level and was feeling pretty good. Then I remembered that I have to ride all the way back home and I'm pretty pooped by then (plus my wife always punishes me with a honey do list), so I turned around at that point.

I'm in the 80+ wave, too.

I'm waiting for my paycheck so I can register, I might be in the "All day group" That's the old guys on walkers with tennis ball wheels and Cat 15 earthworms.

I saw you with an old Gnarly Cane and sparks shooting out...DENY THAT! I dare ya...:notamused:

Ah, but a cane is not a walker, now, is it?

I should do it, but don't know that I have time.
It's my birthday weekend an I'll be really friggin' old. Officially.

Happy Birthday!! A little early, but I'm starting to forget things.

Really friggin old? Somehow I doubt that: I'm getting long in the tooth (yeah - I only have one left), but my wife still asks me when I'm gonna grow up. The only intelligent response I can think of is, "Why would I want to do that?!"



Wait, what was the question again?

If anyone is interested, I have a 1st wave registration available. I can't make it this year but I signed up a few months ago. PM me if you're interested. I'm asking $50, which is $10 off if you register through active.

Thanks!

EDIT: Registration is now SOLD.
