This will happen, but will cause more problems than it solves. From the HHH blog (
http://horriblyhilly.blogspot.com/ ): "A GUARANTEE: If the routes of this event are overrun with a larger than approved number of cyclists, local authorities and townships will put an end to the Horribly Hilly Hundreds".
The real solution, if declined entry, is to ride the route on another day, I've done it solo & unsupported and putting together a group would not be that hard.
Also, remember that the Dairyland Dare Gran Fondo Wisconsin (
http://www.dairylanddare.com/ ) offers great routes in the same area, great support and has not turned away cyclist who register on time.
