Hell of Hunterdon is sold out. I'm a bit torn, because part of me wants an extra two weeks to train for it, and if it is sold out I can always just do the ride two weeks after everyone else. Sure, it would probably only be me and who ever else I could talk into doing it, but I would still be doing it. I also feel like just rolling with everyone even though I'm not registered. They are public roads, after all. But I'm not sure of how big of a dick I will feel like if I do that. They need to make the ride limit larger than 350 riders. It's clearly more popular than that. If I'm honest with myself, I really would like to do it with a bunch of other people.
We're doing our own Paris-Roubaix tribute ride again this year. Last years was a very half-assed "lets go ride some cobbles" kind of deal, but this year we're scouting a 25mile loop that includes two hills that have sections over 15% in grade. One of them is half cobblestone. I would like the mileage to be higher, but we'll see how it goes on Thursday when we do the scouting ride. There's still time to make changes. I think 50miles and a few more hills would make for a great ride. I'll post up the ride when I come back on Thursday.
