Three things:
1) When you select the option to register for yourself or a new team, there is a woman in the picture at the top of the page holding up a "Livestrong Means...No Wallowing" poster. Thats my mom! She is still going through treatments but was so happy when we told her about that, so everyone reading this better register
2) I just sent an email to the guys I know who will have the down low about the new distances and route changes, i'll let you know what i find out. (however, last i heard the 100mi course was the same)
3) I'm doing the 100 mile this year, last year I was too busy with course coordination to ride but not this year! Our team raised $8000 last year and we're looking to expand and hit $20,000 this year....if anyone is interested in joining the team we're putting together to support my mom, send me a PM!

Edit: Grahny I was just looking at your 08' page, thats my mom at the top! On a more embarassing note, Liz Kreutz (photog) actually caught me and my girlfriend crying in the background of that picture, it was an emotional moment....haha.
