Still in. I even booked a hotel room that I won't be able to use, I guess I better figure out which one and cancel it.

I am just getting back into riding, after being off the bike for almost a year. But am really thinking of registering for the 50 mile option of this ride.

I cannot bring myself to pay someone else 75¢ a mile to "let" me ride a century. My last century was done unsupported on $8 worth of snacks.
I'm so cheap.

I know the organizers and the executive director is a friend of mine. Your entry fee supports various charities in the Coachella Valley.

I thought those were endangered bat slappers?
Or are those just in Pennsylvania?

Nice... we should all meet at the start at 6am so we can all drop PhotoJoe like a hot rock. 
I have a feeling I'll be loitering off the back this year on account of all the non-riding I've been doing.

@TrojanHorse, you could have joined me today and gotten some miles in. We had a great ride.
And there was pizza and beer at the finish

I'm down for early start as earlier I start the less chance I finish after dark.

@Beachgrad05, the route this year is much easier than in the past (even those were easy). I've ridden all these roads and if you start at 6:30 there in NO way you're finishing in the dark!
