BTW Barry, put me on your short list of 100+ ride buddies. I'd be interested in year round riding too. (I'm not fast, but I'm weather resilient)
If you can get a parking space in the same town (get there early) and don't end up in a big pile up before the first rest stop, you're home free. It can be a bit dicey for the first 20 miles then it begins to thin out. Many actually skip the first rest stop because its so crowded.
