Sunday 16th September.
Anyone doing this? I'll be doing the metric with my wife and will happily meet up with others if there are other BF's.

I did the century last year and it was great. Good breaks, lots of food and drink, everyone very helpful. They have folks driving around in case you need help. I can't do it this year due to some personal reasons.
Hope the weather is nice and you have fun.

Thought about it, but there's a BF meet up for a 100k around Poolesville the day before and I usually have to work one day a weekend.

Doing the full century, likely at an A/AA pace.
And I might also hit the BF meet up the day before. I'm trying to adjust my schedule to accommodate.

Back Roads Century
I'm planning on doing it - I'll probably do the full century. I'm also getting some people together from our "Panhandle Pedalers" bike club to do it with me. Feel free to tag along if you like. If so let me know.

I'm thinking about doing this, too. Have any of you stayed in the hotels listed on the PPTC page? https://www.bikepptc.org/node/483 Any of them have saggy beds and should be avoided?

I am doing the century too. My wife and I are considering the picnic the previous day. But driving to ride both weekend days is too much considering all of the business with her pregnancy.

This year I'm staying at the Red Roof Inn. And I'm working registration. Afterwards, 9:00am? I will do either the 50 or metric, depending on the temperature and how I feel.
