I am sure I will not finish in the top 10% as I did that year, but I am confident I can get into the top 33% overall, and I will blow off a LOT of people on very late-model machinery. With the covid pandemic being ignored much more this year, it may have many more than 150 entries. You can see the results of the 1997 race here;

there was a member of the bike club way back who made predictions as to his finish ranking before a time trial.
he always seemed to get a flat tire, ruining his terrific time.
