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.
