Wouldn't see why not -- they would like the 60+ milers to line up ahead of the others, but there's no hard and fast rule... It's a "ride," not a "race"....

Dan,
Hope to see you there. We plan to ride our bikes on the 23 miler, unless it's too windy, then we will ride our trikes.

We picked up our packets at Plano Cycling today. Lots of people registered and picked up their packet at the same time.
Richard

Thanks Richard. That's what I needed to know, if I could just do it all at the bike shop. I had to go out of town yesterday so I'll have to drive to Grapevine to get my packet today. What time is everyone getting there? Would you mind emailing me your cell # so I can find y'all in the morning? I don't have John's # and I don't think Tom is going.

Thanks!

P.S. Do you know if anyone is doing the 42?

Just fill out the waiver, and present your $25... Paul

Just a note on the course... in the middle of the 'Sugar Ridge road" section, about Mile 18, there's a sweeping downhill to the left that has historically had some loose gravel issues -- well, THIS year, that section of road is pretty torn up, so plan to take that particular downhill curve slowly... We'll have signs and perhaps a flagger there...
