Comments on: Registration for the 2014 100 Miles of Nowhere Opens Tomorrow! http://www.fatcyclist.com/2014/07/09/registration-for-the-2014-100-miles-of-nowhere-opens-tomorrow/ It's like reality TV. Except it's real. And there's no TV.

My plan to knock on doors in Emerald Isle could have gone badly in a number of ways. How exactly does one knock on a stranger's door and ask "Hey... Is Fatty in here ???" I'm safely registered, and I haven't had my cranium reshaped by an iron skillet. It's been a good day. Still pondering my route options. October is a good time frame. It gives me time to make some inquiries with the folks at Guiness. There may be a World Record attempt involved. My effort will not be extraordinary. The extraordinary dumbness of my effort probably means that I will be the first (and therefore fastest) to attempt/complete it. I’m glad the registration link showed up.

Do I repeat laps of the local hill loop, go all out for Sierra climbs, or repeat laps of the local beginner loop. The Sierras are calling but 10,000 plus feet in 100 miles makes me ponder how much suffering Is in order. Now to decide on a route.

There's no way they listed 31 people on the rental application, and actually got accepted. @Fred Look for a smaller house.
