We are now just finishing the final packing of our bikes, attaching the necessary equipment checking everything over one last time. One final run to the grocery store for water and snacks and we should be good to go.

Our scheduled start time is 9:30 pm tonight. There will be 3000 riders starting in 6 waves about 10 or 20 minutes apart. We do not know for sure when we will start but we are estimating about 10:00 or 10:30 tonight. There are 2500 other riders starting in waves either earlier or later than we are. There should be riders spread out for many miles on the roads soon. Currently it is raining here but not steadily. The forecast however is for better weather.
