Oh, and fair warning to anyone who may need to sell their packet if they can't make it for whatever reason. Don't trust anybody, not even here on Bikeforums. I "sold" a packet for a friend here to a Bikeforums member. The buyer swore he would pay the $100 he agreed to. He never did and came up with all sorts of excuses. First he couldn't follow directions. Emailed him a color scan of the ID so he could do a proxy pickup and told him to display it on his smartphone, just as BikeNY said to do. The idiot printed it up and said it was too big. He still got the rider packet anyway. Then he said he obviously didn't look anything like the ID, so he decided to skip the start line and start a mile or so north. Based on his incredibly stupid assumption that they would have time to check 34,000 IDs at the start line, he said his ride wasn't as enjoyable because he was "forced" to shorten it. Hello! Your rider ID kit is all the ID they want to see. He said he would pay half of the money. Again, he never did and I never heard from him again. DON'T TRUST ANYONE. Get cash before you turn over your packet.
