Re: Tour dem Parks, hon! We are expecting 1000 people, big jump over last year from just over 300. We have two kegs donated for the after party and will buy more if needed. It's going to be fun and crazy! Some of the committee is concerned if we have enough volunteers but since we have not done this large of an event it is really hard to say. But even if you do ride, just keeping an eye out that people on route are having a good time and/or taking some of the new to cycling in the city folks under your wing would help. And yes I will be there volunteering by putting my big mouth to use. Not to mention trying trying to raise support for One Less Car.

The 36 mile route was a lot of fun to work out and you should enjoy that route. The metric century as well worked out real nice trying to splice that in with our main route and rest areas. Some of the tweaks to add millage or how to avoid certain bad sections worked out better then anticipated.
