I've been riding for about 5 years now and have been dying to ride the gap. Next year I will definitely be going. If there is something like a group ride going on, that's probably when I'll be going. Keep this thread going.
Thanks again to you. I ordered a taillight from another rider friday and got it in yesterday. With this post I was able to have it disassembled and replaced in less than an hour. That's including the time that the wife was nagging and the kids were whining, lol.
