Dangit! Wish this wasn't on Nov. 1st. The Bike Ramble is at 2am the same day and was already planning to do that. How nuts would that be? Bike Ramble from 2-4am and then the Tour de Donut at 8am!!?? HA!

That would be some serious challenge for me to ride both. Setting aside job scheduling (I'm working weekends) Get to Geo. R. Brown at 2:00 a.m. (Columbia Tap by night? Spooky!). After the Moonlight Ramble bike to Katy Mills Mall by 8:00 a.m.. Ride the 28 miles of the Tour de Donut (did I mention I have type II diabetes and I've been riding my SE Draft in fixed gear mode for training). Can't eat that many donuts or ride that fast but it would be fun and something to brag about. Riding 2 events without a car. I wonder if when all's said and done it might be another century.....

I shall dub this the Moonlight Donut Challenge.

Ramble's a fun ride, and only a 20 miler at that... use it as a warm-up.

I would be game for both, but I would drive to both events. Some rest between them would be required.
