You bet. I've had a few cold rides this winter. As long as I don't need the snow tires anymore I'll be happy. I plan to stage my camping gear somewhere near the 100mi point or hostel or hotel it.
I may be riding with at least one west coast friend so I'm thinking a radium start on a clockwise route will work the best. We're planning on getting it done on two days so I think we'll always be at least a day ahead of the Elbow group. Their ride looks pretty good though.
