I'm in for the century. I keep forgetting to mail my registration. Better get it in the mail today! After the monster cookie the Felt inspired me to buy a new Lemond Versailles. Now I don't have a built-in excuse for not keeping the pace...

At this point I'm planning on the metric. I'm not quite ready for a century yet, especially at the "Ride of the Valkyries" pace.

In the five hour mark with stops that are resonable no loittering in the fields of hell to tantalize those that you have fallen past and just showing up so you can ridicule them

So, btw, could someone tell me where exactly is the starting point for this ride? The map they provide isn't exactly self-explanatory to me

The starting point is a big field thats a little northwest of the actual fairgrounds, there are signs. As far as a meeting place goes.... I dunno. Five hours WITH rests?!?! Whoooo daddy....I better bring some extra EPO.

Yes, I agree, 5 hours + stops. It's a bit difficult to average 20+ including breaks I would think. Unless you plan to be soul crushing domestiques at the tour this year.

Oh...there will be souls crushed. Orphans will be made. Women will weep. His unholiness will rise up like a pheonix from the deepest depths of hell, and rain fire (that is being us in this analogy) upon the peleton(that is being all the people out there...enjoying a nice ride).

Never underestimate the portland wheelmen's ability to make things difficult.

8am. We ride together... don't drop eachother. Try to get a good rhythm...try to use it as a stp warmup. If people jump onto our paceline...thats fine...but if they do that lame 'Lets drop back while the rider who just pulled gets back into his group' thing...we drop their asses.
Pedalmasher and Fishmel take five minute pulls.... everyone else can take like 2.
Be on the lookout for impromptu stop sign sprints.
Gonesh? Where are you? We're gonna need pics.... Pics of the destroyed souls.
