PA 150k/200k (Oct 24, 2009 edition)

[Tom Rosenbauer]

Registration and event details for the PA150/200k are available at:

Please note that the start/finish is at my house on College Hill -- **NOT the hostel**.

The cuesheets for both the 150k and 200k routes have been updated: Draft 2 dated 10/19/09. There will be a volunteer check-out ride on Thursday, 10/22, starting at 7:30AM -- drop me a note if you'd like to join me on the volunteer check-out ride and help out on Saturday's event. Be sure to check back on Friday, for any cuesheet updates to correct any issues from the checkout ride.

With the limited amount of daylight, lighting and reflective gear will be required, unless you've completed the course before in less than 10 hours.

There are a number of new participants joining us for the first time -- I'm counting on the veteran riders to make the newcomers feel welcome, and offer some camaraderie for first couple of miles.

There is old Norwegian saying that goes something like ... "There's no bad weather, only bad clothing." The current weather forecast is for some chilly rain, so be prepared!

There will be a post-ride BBQ -- come share your epic tales from the past year and goals for 2010!

Hope to see you as we close out a very successful 2009!

Due to hazardous weather conditions (1-2 inches of rain, gusty winds, slippery conditions on descents), the Oct 24 150/200k has been posponed. The events are tentatively rescheduled for 10/31, pending RUSA approval.

If you were planning to ride this Saturday, please send me a note to confirm you've been notified.

I will send refunds to any registered riders who cannot participate on the Oct 31 date that the events are tentatively rescheduled for.
