Anyone else planning on riding this one?

A big definite maybe. It all depends on the weather. It can be nice like today or cold and rainy. Fortunately pre-registration goes through the 20th so I don't have to decide yet.  
 
Did it last yr and had a great time!

I try to do it every year.  One year when it was 30 degrees, I skipped it.

Mark and I did this together last year.  Peggy and Terry also did it.   Mark and I had a lot of fun, so I know it's a good route.  Yjere's only one iffy spot on the 60 miler that I recall.

There is also a 35 and a 20.  I'm definitely not going to attempt the 71 mile route.  I know that I can do the 20, but I'll probably decide that morning whether I think I'm up for the 35.

I may head up depending on my wifes work arrangements I may be riding to/from so will decide when I get there how I feel and how long a course I want to do also.

Last year it was 71, actually 70.5 going by the Garmin. Very good ride and if I recall fairly flat with no steep hills.
 
Greg and I had fun on that one

I think this is the last big payride of the year.  We had a good time last year.  I might be rilling my EZ Tandem.  Otherwise its the Baron.
