Greg - yes, the race is open to any form of HPV. I've about decided on the 27 mile race, somewhat replicating TTTT distance, however, the 27 mile route does not go around the TTTT course. The ride's web site map appears to make a loop on the west side of town. Regardless, I thrill at the though of hopefully riding in the back of a pack of DF riders, and as we approach the last 500 meters, hopefully I'll have enough in the legs to sprint out front...

So how do you sign up for the race - I can't find any info.

Greg, there is no signing up for the race, just the BAU rally registration. Here's how it works....

The racers line up with the Rally riders, however the racers line up at the start line. Both the racers and rally riders start together. The 69 milers stage first, then the 41, then the 27, then the 10 milers. A lead vehicle follows the front pace line throughout the race while the rally riders enjoy an easier pace. There isn't any fanfare at the finish or any awards, just self satisfaction. I did get my picture taken last year at the finish, but the results were not posted, nor was the picture.
