P.S. I'm up for sharing gas cost if anyone planning to share a car.

Just emailed the race promoter. There will be an official SAG wagon w/ repair supplies. But he advised that since it may be spread out along the course, immediate support may be unavailable. I'll be bringing a spare too I guess.

erk, another quick question...where do I buy a 1-day license for this? I've already registered, but I don't see on the site where I need to get my USCF license from. Finish area? Start at Isabel? I'm hoping I don't have to drive ALL THE WAY to San Jose to get this, that would be ridiculous. And I'm sure there will be others starting at Isabel Creek who don't have their season license.

email from the race director:
Good Morning
Yes Isabel Creek will be selling one-day licenses, for
a cost of $10.
