Reach The Beach on 5/20
https://www.reachthebeach.org/
Went to register tonight at REI. All I got was a number, a map to the start, a meal ticket, some pins and two twist ties. Didn't we get more last year?! Just kiddin'. It's a good cause and a great route.
We all should try to meet at the beginning.
Edit: I'll ride to the 100 mile start. I'm riding this with a buddy. I don't think he's into a group ride so much. So, we'll poke along. No fast for me on this one :( Which is good. I'll be coming off a ten day vacation with no cycling.
It'd be cool to start together though.

I'm registered... Riding from portland. Will probably buy a bus ticket back. Will be riding my rain bike...might take the fenders off, but I don't like leaving my nice bike in their 'corral', and there is no way in hell I'm putting it on a truck, if I gotta take a bus. We should definitely ride as a group if we can... I'd like to get started on this one by 8.

In that case stay away! You do need to do barlow trail in late june though. And watermelon in the middle. The 125 on watermelon should be a great STP tune up ride. ...too bad the pavement is total sh..

The Barlow Trail Century is a great work-out with lots of climbing - an excellent training ride for other centuries or events. You can't beat the route, support or scenery. 10+ in my book!
