Which is kinda the first step to winning my division, which I fully intend to do. My loop may be a bit longer than others, but it will be devoid of beautiful vistas or views. However, it is inspired by a 1980's video game, and who doesn't like those? I think the next step is to get my cycling up to snuff, which may be the bigger challenge since my current long ride is a bit south of 50 miles. Thank you for doing this, it is a pretty cool event for a pretty cool organization. I believe that you will sell out, have faith. I’m in!!

I can do a 2.75 mile loop, or a 1 mile loop - or even a shorter one. I'd rather do the 2.75 miles, but I can definitely go with the mind-numbing but so much fun shorter course! :=)

I like the wimpy single track, as opposed to the macho trails at our local club trails. They aren't really the club trails anymore. The state aquifer the land and the club lost its lease, but we still call them the club trails. It matters not as I won't be riding them. I have never ridden a century, but I will give it my best. If it is snowy I will ride my fatty bike in your honor. If it is really snowy or cold I will ride on my indoor trainer. I may also wear the jersey in thr Tourde Cure next June, as opposed to my pink Fatty jersey. For my victory dinner I will buy some raw milk cheese at the farmer's market held in the same park. Good luck to all Fatty fans everywhere. I plan to ride in my favorite state park, Saratogs Spa State park, Saratoga Springs,NY.

Looks like I will be duplicating the effort of a rider from last year, kind of - we'll be somewhere on a cruise between Tahiti and the Tuatomo Archipelago when I am able to do the 100 MoN ride, and I may not be able to take all the swag with me. Still looking forward to it. Camp Kesem does great things and I am happy to be a supporter. Amazed to still get in!

Its gonna be awesome. And logistically a little stupid. And full of pie. I'm so excited.

Last time I rode the trainer while watching western movies and it was awesome. This year I will throw caution to the wind and only watch movies from the "whats trending" line on Netflix. Given that this is a week after Halloween I really hope there is more to watch then just Teen Vampire movies. After being away from the event for 5 years I am returning 65lbs leaner and ready to go.
