I have not ridden them but it is my understand that the sector is made for rough stuff / cobbles.
 
Got the registration email last night and printed out the paperwork this morning. I didn't realize this thing started so late and would end so early.

I hope you guys enjoy the beer because if I start at 9 AM there is no way in hell I'll be finished before 5 PM. I am now reminded of why I stopped doing organized road rides. :(

nice job on joining - just get out there and do what you can.



why did the forecast just take a hard right and now shows an 80% chance of rain?
 
Weather.com says PM showers.

I plan to get to registration at 7AM and will probably roll out immediately. I don't see me averaging more than 13 or so, which means I'm looking at over 6 hrs of saddle time. And they aren't calling this a race? WTF?

I don't know if they really want folks to leave early, but 9 AM just seems way too late for a ride like this - at least for me in my current condition. I assume they want to give the aide stations time to set up. Of course, I'm used to doing long, self-supported rides, so the aide stations are secondary to me. Granted, even with a near 2 hr head start, fast guys will probably pass me before I reach the first station.

You can check in friday evening, that's what I'm doing. Then you can leave whenever you want, tho they probably discourage early riders

I've been working at our PA office in Blue Bell this week so picking up the registration packet would be difficult.

Like Ian mentioned, the aid stations wont be set up yet if you are rolling at 7 since they wouldnt be expecting people at the first station until around 10. The only station you may catch is the last one.
 
Don't forget to sign up for the strava kom/qom challenges - also looks like if you go friday evening you can try on the jersies - might snag one
 
I'll add the Strava challenge to my account, but I have no delusions of winning anything... unless there will be a DFL prize for slowest time.

DFL is really hard if you aren't slow.
