Hope ride this weekend?
With an expected 2000 riders, I imagine there are a few on here. The population of Hope, IN will approximately double for the time we're there.

Nice ride. I skipped the wine myself, but enjoyed a combination of Gatorade, lemonade, and water.

I saw that coming and short-cut a bit, but still ended up with 103. I don't want to discourage the organizer because I know he puts a ton of effort into the ride, and overall it's a great ride. But going 7 miles long on a century is a bit much - people can run out of water if they don't know it's coming.
