From Zack Bass to you:

The bus has some slots left, tell your friends!

There’s some room in the bus still. Help us sell the last 20 spots on the bus!

Notes:

I rode the route yesterday and made some errors. I’ll tell you about that in an email.

There will be another post here shortly with more details! Check back later this afternoon!

Registration is still open, there are about 25 spots on the bus left.

For those of you riding your bike to the start tomorrow, on the way back home the bus will drop people at the start and then also make a stop at the Panhandle in SF.

PROTIP: RED lenses, not dark. There’s a couple places where you’re cruising 25+ heading into the setting sun then you drop into a dark forest area where your speed goes up to 35+ quickly. I was wearing dark lenses and it was as though someone had shut the lights off. Also, there’s a lot of turns and gravel on the steep downhill stuff… so you’ll probably want to be able to see that yeah?

About that “better weather” I ordered up…

Sunny. High of 78. Yee-Haw! I can’t imagine it being any nicer.

Get your revenge on Mother Nature for the sufferfest at the last Spring Classic.

Let’s give one of these away…

What say we take a pull out of the hat for any one lucky rider at the post-ride BBQ and give away this Kuat NV rack? Is that something you’d be interested in?

Less than a week to go and we’ve got some room on the bus still!

We’re down to just under a week to go before game day. If you’ve not registered please do so we can better plan for food and buses!

More announcements soon!

Route details…

Going north we are. You’re feeling like something along the lines of 105-110 miles. Let’s lighten up a bit on the footies this time too, say something around 7,500 ft; ok with you? We can mix in some varied road surfaces, wind tunnels, and shorter, staccato type spiky hills… 16 distinct downhills, all different.

There will be loads of “WEEEEEEE!!!” too. Nothing says you’re have fun more than referring to yourself in the plural, right?
