I'm so bummed that I can't join this year. By the time my head was in the biking game for the year and I realized when this was happening, my wife had already bought concert tickets to see her favorite band that weekend.

BUT, I'm ready for a 2020 announcement and will be reserving that weekend immediately upon announcement (assuming there is a 2020 event).

I've been working really hard this summer to get back into shape after being off the bike for almost two years and finding 20lbs more of myself to love. I've been doing 80+ miles /week and have burned down 7 lbs from the start July. I need to keep this momentum going throught the rainy season, so I'm not starting from 0 again in the spring.

Have fun everyone, I eagerly pictures!
