    I'm in for the CC!

    I know I am maturing as a rider when I look at the event title, see 44 miles, and think "It's only 44 miles, that's not SO bad."

    Saturday I rode up Blackstar to Pleasant's Peak and I must say the road is in great condition. No ruts, no speed bump. It's a bit loose here and there, but otherwise in great shape. I didn't even notice where the road had collapsed, it was so well repaired.

    Can't wait to travel a bit farther and get to descend Mordorway next month.

    In for the VQ...heard about it from a friend, signed up this morning, then I found this thread. Nothing like 11 pages of posts to psych you up! As with others, now I've got to decide SS or geared...

    Looking forward to riding with y'all in March!

    Dang Craiger, that's going to be awesome on your RFX!

    Didn't you sell your XC bike after your last Coup?

    Any plans to increase the total number of participants this year or next? Seems like the VQ and CC are becoming too popular!
