Do you guys want to meet up somewhere before the ride? If I counted correctly we have Dtrain, Masher, and Jakey (most likely) doing the 40-mile. I will be with a couple of people from work, but it would be fun to reconnect with the BF gang.
Last year it was kind of a zoo at the start (did anyone else see the woman get hit by a line of bikes as she tried to cut across several lines and make a left turn?). I will be riding past OMSI around 8:30 if anyone is interested in meeting there and riding to the Lucky Lab. I am going to try to get organized and pick up my packet tomorrow afternoon.
Another option would be to just look for each other at the start or the first rest stop at REI.

I'm in, Chisolm. I'm thinking of trying to make in down there this afternoon for packet pick-up (and maybe a ride on the tram) myself. OMSI works for me around 8:30...or maybe just 8:45 at the start if I make it downtown this afternoon.
'masher are you in?
Sorry the ride is full Jakey. Maybe you could just Park near the Pearl Dist. or something and we'll meet up at that first REI stop?

Well, I didn't get down there to pick up my packet. So I'll be around OMSI at 8:30, and heading to register no later than 8:40. Hope to catch up with y'all. Rad, are your riding?

Well it was far from the worst day to ride. Very nice event I thought it was well laid out. The weather did get a little nasty later on my ride back to Oregon City but it was still a good day.

Yeah, I had a lot of fun too, despite the lack of sleep. The chili soup + corn bread + stout was perfect at the end :]
