Feel free to post in this thread if you're doing some weekend rides in the Spring. I have a "gravel grinder" bike that still needs a lot of breaking in and I'm guessing you have some nice options for that down there.
I'm also doing the AntiEpic -- the shorter version. The longer ride knocked the crap out of some pretty serious riders last year. See you there!
Let's stay in one piece to take a run at CR to WP to CR later in the year. I (Eric W) will also follow you on Strava if you want to coordinate anything from there.
Have fun & stay safe.
