Okay, well, I understand but hopefully I'll see you there . The ride is very well organized, well supported, plus it's timed (don't know if you've ridden it before?), plus I always meet new people to ride with, so (needless to say!), I really like The Bear.

This year I'll be coming off the Eastern Sierra double the prev. weekend, so will probably be slower than last year, but whatever . . . just have to see how my legs feel on the day.
