Prepping for a hundie

Sunday Sunday Sunday we're heading out for one hundred miles tomorrow.
Quick thoughts: We are all going to ride mountain bikes... sweet.
We are all going to ride singlespeeds... also sweet.
By we all, I mean all seven of us: Doc, Steve, Robin, Kyle, Kevin, Nick, and myself.
It is going to happen on Feb. 21, and it will be snowing on us.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that this has a definite potential for a new favorite day on a bike. I am really excited to get to ride in this group. It is going to be really interesting to see how each person progresses throughout the long day. I am sure some interesting eating habits will form. Lucky for us it should be fairly warm tomorrow (upper 20's-lower 30's). Also something that may be lucky, may be terrible is that it is going to snow. The question is how much. Either way it should be a fun day, with a lot of good people and a rare opportunity. Getting seven people together for a century is hard enough... three is good, five is wonderful. Then to have everyone riding a singlespeed mountain bike, and everyone is running a very similar gear ratio, is so cool. I think looking from the side when we hit a hill would be awesome: cadence increase, cadence decrease, standing... all in unison. Hopefully we'll get some good pictures, ride 100 miles, and have a good time. Ride recap of course coming either way... unless I die.
