Azores seem nice, but I've been more attracted to the Canaries. Excellent climbing, I hear, on Tenerife.

OK, I am in, along with a friend from Ottawa. Will be mailing a money order tomorrow. It looks like a lot of fun.

I sent in my registration last week. I've been doing this ride every year since 1999. It's a great weekend.

For those that want to see what it's like and how it's varied over the past 10 years, photo albums of my rides including the GFLBT (with captions and commentary) are here.

See you in June,
Ed

Ed,
Thank you for posting this link! The pictures of the GFLBT are great. As this will be my first experience there, I am quite curious was very interested in seeing some photos. I can't wait!

I agree.

I see you're also a great big fan of the Great Big FANY Ride.
