My mind says yes, my body says 
If I'm riding by then and have enough legs, but it's a definite wait and see thing.

No Udder for me, but the Arlington 500 is next Sunday and I might swing that.

Depends on how I feel Saturday night. I have to help my sister move out on Saturday, so if I don't pull anything, I am planning on trying to make it up there. A full century may be out of it for me, but I would love to give a shot. Haven't rode that far yet and really need to.

I'd be there, but I've got another commitment on Sunday. Have a great time and enjoy the scenery.

You can decide that midway through the ride at the second rest stop in Harvard. If the route's still the same, the extra miles for the century is a loop up to Wisconsin and back down to the Harvard stop again.

Speaking of Wondertucky, looks like you people will be out in force... but where are the Cat 3's? I'm going to be lonely in my first Cat 3 debacle!

I'm riding out. If you see a guy in an orange Swobo jersey, say hi.

Rode out. Did most of the 75. Rode home. 105 miles in a bit over 6 hours. I was fast riding south and east. I am now having a giant smoothie. It is grand.

I did 62 miles. And yes - that northwest wind made last 20 miles very fast ( and first 30 miles a little more interesting :-) ). I am glad it was not other way around...
Did not see any familiar faces - but the ride was packed this year - I don't remember that large attendance in a past...

I rode the century, my first long ride of the year and I was hurting the first 60 miles into the wind. I agree about the wind direction, it would have been tougher with the headwind on the last leg.
