Ok, looks like 2 days left. Everyone is ready right? :) I checked out the route from where it deviates from the sdbc ride to where it hits Oceanside. Doesn't look bad at all. I'm gonna do this on my 1933 Charles Mochet built Frances Faure replica bike. Even though I've only done about 100 miles int he last month, I'm going to knock this out. 100oz bladder with Perpeteum in the seat back, and 50oz of water in the seat bag. Plan on about 10 hours give or take. May need a light as that will have us finishing around 5pm. I'm hoping to be done by 3pm.
