Anybody else planning this?
No ... I'm planning to stop at the first control. When I got there last time, the line-up was very small (probably the smallest line-up I encountered on the entire ride), they had excellent mashed potatoes (I had a heaping plate!), and I even took a few minutes to email a quick message home (it was the only control with email access).
