Last year someone (Mirona?) made a sign and RoadToNowhere and Grasschopper (I think) stood near the registration area holding it up until the pre-planned start time for the BFers. We all amassed at the sign, then got someone to take a picture of the group before heading out. Our first stop was at mile 0.1 for the port-a-pots

We rode together for the most part, but waited and regrouped at the rest areas for those who were dropped. I still haven't signed up, but its on my list of things to do; I committed 2 other people to this ride and they signed up before me...boy would they be pissed if I didn't go!
