I expected this event to be postponed until next year and wanted to have my Colnago all restored by then. With Ed Litten’s lead time I don’t dare take it apart so I will ride it the way I got it . I am doing the short route with Rich and running the same gearing and tire set up I had in 2019 on the ItalVega. In the front 53/41 and a 28 low FW with Pasela Panaracer 28’s . Keeping up with Rich is a bit of a challenge especially on the downhills but look out I’m in pretty good shape this year and I am looking for a special pair of socks for this event. I know gugie is planning a ride down from SF but anyone thinking Saturday pre ride? I would love to do a Cayucos ride or something . We are doing the short route so it could be an option. I will be on my “Halloween “ special Medici on Saturday , riding down from San Simeon campground.
If you have Ed lined up to do it and you want it done by him, I would encourage you to get it to him. I am a bit surprised he is still doing this many regular walk ins. I know for pretty sure he bumps you to the front of the line if you are a crony and he has plenty after being around this long and still doing it. Just my 2 c but like you said with his lead time all else you may be sorry if you wait.
