I guess all this bantering on the thread is moot as the event got canceled last night at 6pm. I'm sure a lot of folks are bummed. The event director appeared to be in denial of a potential closure by the county as he boasted on the website that the ride was to go on "rain, shine, or the corona virus". I hope those of you who had lodging reservations could get out of them or refunded. As for event fees, no word yet and probably not for weeks. I'm still going up and visiting my friend and doing the route on our own. I'm sure others are doing it self-supported too. Have a safe, fun time if you undertake it.
