I am in. My friend in my bike club who lives a quarter of a mile from me is also in. I think a few others from my club are making it as well.
Last year I carried a ton of stuff in my jersey and our club had a private SAG vehicle. I am an idiot.
This year I may use my comfy messenger bag. Who knows.
Next year I plan on finding a different obnoxious ride. Perhaps the death ride, mt shasta, or something along those lines.
