Signed up for the Hilly Hundred two day even near Bloomington

I signed up for the Hilly Hundred starting in Ellettsville, IN and moving around the south Indiana hills near Bloomington. Should be a challenging ride.
I signed up for a campground space and breakfast in the morning.

Anyone else doing the Hilly Hundred?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I'm in as well, since I ride most of these hills on a regular basis. If anyone doesn't want to camp, I live in Bloomington and have a sleeper sofa.

Sleeping Bag, Stove, Freeze Dried Food, Sleeping Pad, extra duds for camp, supplements and hygiene stuff
Remember to allow for weather swings for clothes! It can be chilly AND hot! A Fleece for the evenings is nice, for example!
DON'T forget TP!

I'm taking:
Sleeping bag and pad, camping chair, stove, fuel for stove, tent lamp, camelpack 2L, energy bars, some instant soup in case it gets cold and some other misc food/fruit items. Cloth and hygiene stuff of course.

I wonder if the camp site have parking for cars as I'm planning to take my car down there on Friday night and camp there till sunday.
