    I was going to start this thread next week but glad to discuss now! I really want to go also but the distance and therefore gas money is killing me! So glad to hear others are interested. Would like to go down in time to pre-ride Saturday. I have researched a state campground 25 minutes from race site that is $8 per night for a tent spot. I can be flexible on when we go. Anna would like to go if we have room. I can put two bikes on tray rack on rear of car and if had roof racks to borrow(buy) could put bikes on top. I figure in my car the gas bill would be about $70 round trip.

    I don't know why I did not think about my taking my little utility bike trailer! So anyhow, I can easily carry four bikes on it. It's like a mini-me version of AG's trailer and bikes attach the same way. Plenty of room for gear in the trailer. So have room for three people $15-$20 per person for gas. Willing to leave anytime on Saturday, at least early enough to get there in time to ride a couple laps, and set up camp before dark. Would be up for leaving early enough to ride some where else on way down if people wanted. Campground I am considering is @ Wolf Creek State Park. Now I am a little more excited about this race! Post up if you want to ride along. Eric
