Tarwheels Bikefest, 9 Aug?

Are any of you Triangle BFers (or anyone else) going to be at the Carolina Tarwheels' BikeFest this Saturday?

I think today is also the last day to register, also.

Bikefest - Carolina Tarwheels

80% chance of rain on Saturday, maybe it won't be worth it anyway.

Rode this event several years ago and, as I remember it rained some then. Adding insult to injury, there was no post ride lunch.

I'll pass on it.

Well, it is my one chance at an organized ride this year... I might just say "screw it" and achieve a whole new level of wetness tomorrow.
