that's kind of moot point isn't it - you have 24 hours for 100 miles,
other folks have 12 hours for 50 miles or 6 for 25 miles.....so the time
is relative to the distance.

I was referring to _letting_ 100s in front of me- as in I offer to do it
to be nice - I was not referring to someone elbowing their way up the
line and me just smiling and letting them by me

that probably wouldn't happen :)

you can only do so much planning when you have a 30 or 40 minute hold
and you know you'll be in line 90% of that time and the other 10% will
be used to go to the bathroom and refill your camelbak. How would you
propose to plan around that?

I'm with Angie as far as waiting in line - grab some hay and a bucket of
beet pulp, and just relax :)


Tina - who is looking forward to standing in line for the first time in
almost a year at my first ride in early March
